2009-12-30 All stdeb.cfg options can now be set using distutils
           command option passing. This required a couple of renamings
           (--default-maintiner should now be --maintainer,
           --default-distribution should now be --suite), although the
           old way will still work, as it is only deprecated for now.

2009-12-30 Add pypi-install script to automatically download a package
           distribution, build a .deb file from it, and install

           script if desired.
