My mistake.  Didn't see it there...

Should I use the latest 2.0.52?

My intention is to build a clean chroot for the reliable testing of 
packages for keywording.  I don't mind doing so for the prefix version

to work on keywording in the mean time.  I'll try to contact kito 
directly for more details.
