Due to #987, there are now a number (3) of -development machines which can't take an update.  This would be an ideal time to test out our update hook in real life, rather than waiting for a last resort.   I propose trying out the following update hook:

"""
#!/bin/sh

aptitude install debathena-auto-update
"""

This should be a no-op on production machines, and should pull in the new debathena-auto-update on -dev machines.

Thoughts?  We can also decide that the update hook should really truly only be reserved for the end of the world.
