Okay, updated. Because of the usual problem with libparrot being NEW,
I'll need someone to sponsor the upload.

https://mentors.debian.net/package/parrot

Also the Rakudo/NQP upstream developers recommend updating those
packages to 2013-02 as soon as it's released. Would you like me to work
on that?

I'm not able to destroy the old pkg-parrot/pkg-parrot repo, but once the
Alioth admins do that, I'll replace it with a clean repo created by:

git import-dscs --pristine-tar --debsnap parrot

I've blown away my github copy of pkg-parrot and replaced it with the
new one:

>From now on, I'd like to keep the pkg-parrot/pkg-parrot repo as a pure
reflection of what's actually been released, and not a working repo, to
avoid the clutter of various packaging false starts. Which is to say,
feel free to clone it for packaging work, but don't push changes to it,
other than importing released dscs. We can use any other repo for work
in progress, I just want one that's always clean.
