Cool.

I can take care of that. I'll also update the debian/copyright file,
and include the omitted sql files in the Makefile. This will become
0.3-2.

I can push a temporary branch to Github, for your review. Does that
work for you?

I thought that it would be useful to have version numbers that
deliberately don't overlap with the Postgres contrib version numbers.
Though now, maybe what I should do instead is rename the extension to
something like amcheck-next. That would probably avoid confusion, and
also allow me to use 1.0 as a version number. What do you think of
that idea?

Thanks
