..by "working", we should mean flawless packaging and easy bug reporting
so the vdev developers get feedback from people trying the packages so
they get help finding the bugs.

..with no feedback, he can justify the "no interest" conclusion.

..which proves the current "git clone -> .configure -> make -> make
install" route unworkable, at the very least we need a way to make
our omn vdev .dev package from our own git trees.

best case, worst case, and just in case.
