Yep, something to do, we should be using only one set of tools (the intree
code), but needs some testing probably on old releases if that wasn't
reliable. Also for example maint-getabis allow pulling from the c-k-t
ppa when things aren't yet on -proposed, so you can do an early start
new release on master-next if desired, something like that would be good
to have also on the in tree script if possible.
