<p>
All Python functions must now use four spaces for indentation.
Previously, an inconsistent mix of spaces and tabs existed,
which made extending these functions using
<code class="filename">_append</code> or <code class="filename">_prepend</code>
complicated given that Python treats whitespace as
syntactically significant.
If you are defining or extending any Python functions (e.g.
<code class="filename">populate_packages</code>, <code class="filename">do_unpack</code>,
<code class="filename">do_patch</code> and so forth) in custom recipes
or classes, you need to ensure you are using consistent
four-space indentation.
