Ahh, right.  Then we probably do want to increase the version number for 
the original tarball.  We could just do a minor version increase, but that 
would be confusing given that previous debathena versions are coupled to 
an Athena RPM verison number.  So bringing things up to something starting 
with 10 makes sense.

Which just leaves open the question of whether we should change things to 
Debian-native while changing the version numbers.  I think that issue 
deserves more discussion now, since it implies a lot of decisions we're 
going to have make soon.
