Ok, I just built the package myself from source and removed the
dependency on dpkg 1.15 and set it to 1.14 for lenny instead.  That
means 0.7.12 is now installed on debian-stable-i386.

Also, about the slave names, would it be possible to use the same names
that are on the PdLab page? I.e. not CamelCase, but with-dashes
instead :)
