	``Shadow trees'' aren't supported well by `quilt' (as of 0.45
	debian 6), which is used by the Debian `inn2' package build
	system.  (Or should I try to use absolute paths for symbolic
	links?)

	I vaguely recall being working on the INN build system a couple
	of years ago or so.  It might be that I had actually implemented
	this, though the changes were never published.  (And I'm not
	sure that I've finished that work.)

	I'll try to check it.
