I've put 1.0.2 online.  Changes:

* If a Man-in-the-Middle steals both Alice's and Bob's DSA private keys,
  he can perform a birthday attack to try to get his session id with
  each end to match. Since the session id was only 64 bits long, his
  work was only 2^32, which is not enough. We now make the session id
  the whole SHA-1 hash, instead of truncating it, to protect against
  even this unlikely scenario.

* Made otr_sesskeys output the calculated public key as well, for added
  ease of forging messages when you don't know any plaintext.

deb's and rpm's are there, too.
