"Stable" builds of dictionary

In order to allow inclusion in distros like Gentoo or Arch, I decided to add "stable" builds of dictionary. Those will stay in place forever (well at least long enough) so you can safely reference it in build recipes. You can find them in separate directory on download server.

Python policy craziness

I have no clue whether python-support or python-central is better solution as new python packaging helper. I follow debian-python list too shortly to know all backgrouds between their authors. Despite of those current situation is really bad.

There were filed many bugs and tools and policy still change every day. Will it use Python-Standards-Version or debian/pycompat? Will there be XS-Python-Version or debian/pyversions? Now it looks that both. I thought that new policy shoud simplify things and not making them even more complex. Calm down people and try to find one solution.
