In shell-config: * Avoid multi-line aliases in tcsh, because they play poorly with precmd (in particular the return value of precmd becomes $?, trashing the return value of the real previous command). It works fine if you remove the linebreaks. I hate tcsh so much.

install-debathena.sh: Really don't break Maverick (Trac: #755) The check needs to happen after we run apt-get update, since the issue at hand is with a system that all of a sudden tries to process new updates from Ubuntu. It also needs to happen before we install dnsutils, because that's where the first breakage is (see Debian #610845). So we move it earlier and run apt-get once again before we add our repo. However, now that it happens before aptitude is installed, we need to use apt-get for the check, since that's all we can count on existing. This updates r24922 "Don't break maverick".
