This does mean that our current recommended stable release cannot be
built as is on Ubuntu 9.10.  This is not an issue for most users of
Ubuntu as 2.2.9 is available ready built in the Ubuntu repository.  I
wonder how the package builder achieved this.  Presumably it could be
an issue for other linux distros also.
