Taking to upstream we decided this way round. The program can be used
without the stamps, and the stamps can be used without the program
tbh.
However the other way round does seem to make more sense. The problem
is the circular dependency which stops people installing the program
using gdebi, and stops the distribution of the program without using a
repository.
