Right, jaunty has 1.6.0.4, karmic 1.6.3.3 and Debian stable 1.5.6.5.

It's probably best to let this patch sit in RT for a while while the
OS's have a release cycle or two. That or document both of these.

There's also the question of to what degree we what to turn
perlrepository.pod into what's effectively a stand-alone Git tutorial.
I've just been fixing a few bugs in it that I've encountered, but it
would be useful to get feedback on how that POD is actually used / how
it could be better in general.
