Bug Description

People not running L/M/N are told to fetch the code from the trunk branch using bzr, which is not optimal given that the code in trunk may not have been thoroughly tested. We should release a tarball containing the version that was included in the existing packages.

I thought of tarballs because then those not (yet ;) running Ubuntu can
use it.

Why not use a bzr tag / branch for this case?

We do tag!

I agree we want to release a tarball at this point, now that we have a clean code base.

We need to move setup.py to use a hardcoded version, and I would recommend moving to distutils-extra as well while we're at it.
