d41e944beb re-re-factored the download and install instructions
Now the instructions about how to download debian packages live on a separate
page of the wiki instead of on the front page or in the README.  The README is
only about building from source.  The front page contains pointers to those two
other pages (the debiandownloadpage and the README).

6a8361b48b fix the TESTING THAT IT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED section
My oh-so-useful test subject here skipped that section because he thought it was part of a section that he was finished with.

4ecd603a99 clarify instructions on how to get build dependencies for debian
My test subject here didn't used "locate" to find something named
"debian/control" somewhere on his filesystem...  :-)

3b9aab4592 make big distinction between downloading precompiled packages and building yourself
Both of my two test subjects here stumbled on this by thinking that building on debian was related to building debian packages was related to downloading precompiled packages.

d19d1058e0 extirpate all references the "queen" and "metatracker"
This is a potentially disruptive and potentially ugly change to the code base,
because I renamed the object that serves in both roles from "Queen" to
"IntroducerAndVdrive", which is a bit of an ugly name.

However, I think that clarity is important enough in this release to make this
change.  All unit tests pass.  I'm now darcs recording this patch in order to
pull it to other machines for more testing.

d5c3c23d2e update README to mention which dependencies are python packages
In particular, my brother is an Ubuntu/Debian user who said it would be nice if
we had mentioned that those packages were named "python-foo" in the apt package
namespace.
