Harrumph!!

Well, pick some scheme that gives a rational set of numbers for
distributions. The current one is only good for installation
by hand!

(Mind you, my other major package is progressing from -1.00 to 0,
so that -0.76 is followed by -0.75. Not that I recommend you to
follow _that_ example.)
