[tahoe-dev] zfec + stdeb problems on debian unstable

[Black Dew]

It looks like the rescent change to zfec that added extras_require
broke Debian builds because of a bug in stdeb:

I've reported the bug and submitted a patch to (partially) fix it here:

http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/issues/#issue/3

The build still fails on Debian-unstable because stdeb forces setup.py
to use the system version of setuptools which in unstable is 0.6c9
while zfec lists >=0.6c10 as a requirement. (outside stdeb setup.py
can load it's own version and works fine)
