I'll *try* my best to do this, but it'll be pretty much best-effort in
that case. Just build, generate IUK and UDFs, *light* testing, and then
upload. No test suite.

I'm still gonna try for 25th, but it's turning out more complicated than
I originally thought. Actually now the 22nd (Sunday) looks more
promising, which I think would suite our needs even better, right? Still
that's not a promise, yet...

Ok, I can do it, and I think I can do it all, but *if* I arrive back the
20th (not sure yet, but if so it would be quite early) it might be safer
that some part of it is already done. I think it'd be enough if you did
the iceweasel building. Sounds ok?

Cheers!
