"make distcheck" is failing because it can't find a rule to create
"mtnopt".  This is a script which comes with the source tree; I tried
renaming it out of the util/ directory but that did not help.  Whoever
created that file, please fix this.

I've also done a couple of small updates to the Debian packaging.
Please DO NOT follow the instructions in upgrade-checklist.txt for
modifying debian/changelog; instead just do

$ dch -m --release

and then immediately quit out of the editor.  If you do not have
access to the "dch" utility, just change the word "UNRELEASED" to
"unstable" on the first line of debian/changelog, and replace the date
after my email address with the current time (you can use "date -R" to
get it in the right format).  Note that there must be two spaces
between the email address and the date.

I'll handle debian packaging/upload from there.
