Bug#384071: [cl-debian] Bug#384071: stumpwm: Please update to a more recent cvs checkout

[Faré]

We could very well have several versions of stumpwm generated by
cl-launch, and a master-script that accepts options and picks the
right one depending on those options, and/or a /etc/alternatives/
thingie to select which version to pick.

Personally, I when I use stumpwm, I don't usually dump image, because
I re-launch it with twiddled sources more often than I start it from
stable sources.

Merely having an open mind is nothing; the object of opening the mind,
as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.
