Any advice on (a) a regular expression to weed out ", et al", and (b) choosing between parsing metadata during import vs. using the bulk metadata editor post-import? Regarding (b), it seems that the bulk editor is far more flexible.

I strongly prefer to use repositories to maintain my applications (including PPAs in addition to official repositories), but there's a big gap between 0.6.42 and 0.8.1, so it looks like I'll use the ad hoc install.
