Aaah, sorry.  I was browsing the GitHub source code and failed to notice
that the distribution tarball on PyPi does not contain any tests.

So we can either switch to using the GitHub snapshots so that we can
notice breakage early, or lose tests but gain the integrity guarantees
from using the PGP-signed tarball on PyPi.

I don't really have a strong preference, but it's worth creating an
upstream issue in either case IMO.  Ideally we'd have both.

I'll let you be the judge, being the end user and all :)
