Which is easier with `make deb`. Otherwise LGTM.

I very much like the idea of having the links to more up-to-date repos in the sidebar, and instructions for `make deb` aren't likely to fit very well here. I kinda feel as if the entire site needs a new coat of paint. Maybe we can discuss this at the sprint.
