And previously we used to get a whole lot of people who didn't
understand native packaging for whatever reason (usually because they
couldn't figure out what 23 packages to install), for whom the
one-clicks are much easier. We *don't* get those people emailing
webmaster@ any more, which indicates to me that the current layout
works more effectively.
