OK, that is what I thought. I might have a look at packaging
CruiseControl in the future, but I can't really see having a
CruiseControl and a phpUnderControlCruiseControl, because that would
be frowned upon even by me :-)

I also don't really want to package CruiceControl, because it is Java
and I just don't understand it enough. It seems to be very specific
where you place your data files.

It would be good to have this in the packaging guidelines somewhere.
All I could find were random threads in mailing list, none of them
with an official conclusion as far as I could seen.

I guess I will leave both packages for now and create my own
repository with just those two and see how it is working out.
