 Another annoyance: I can't get SAGA geoprocessing working. I think
this is because the saga version on ubuntugis-unstable is 2.0.8, but
QGIS requires 2.1 according to:

http://docs.qgis.org/2.0/html/en/docs/user_manual/processing/3rdParty.html

 Also, those docs mention an option I can't find: the "SAGA Folder"
setting in the SAGA configuration. Is this supposed to be in the
Processing/Options and Configuration dialog in QGIS 2.0? - Maybe that
will either magically appear when I do get SAGA 2.1 installed or its a
hangover from an earlier QGIS....

 Sorry to bring these up post-release, but I had to upgrade my machine
first and didn't want to do that before FOSS4G!
