Note that if you're using latest Git, the bleeding-jumbo branch is 
currently more "appropriate" than the unstable-jumbo. Normally that's 
not supposed to be the case but the unstable branch is very outdated 
right now (it will become 1.7.9-Jumbo-8 while bleeding is the upcoming 
1.8.0-Jumbo-1). And bleeding has a *lot* more formats and features.

I could make bleeding the "default" branch but I reckon that would only 
confuse people a lot.
