Note that this is the git recipe, not the released version. I've just
realised that it should have a DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1" and doesn't
though. These git versions used to be great for testing upstream changes
before they hit releases but they shouldn't be the default and I suspect
this on has slipped to become default due to the PV change.

It is of course a worry if the upstream version is broken but that is a
different problem :/.
