I was thinking about that, but the buildbot-slave-0.8.0 is the same
code, and thus the same bugs.  There's a lot of need for a package
like this, because I think that the necessity of installing extra
dependencies is holding a lot of folks back from upgrading their
slaves.

I'm not sure I see a real problem here, nor much chance for confusion.
 And certainly after 0.8.1, any confusion will dissipate.
