This makes it show up in 'vc-list-files' so the syntax checks are run against it. Most (all?) other packages import the maintainer-makefile module. In that case, 'vc-list-files' doesn't show maint.mk and there is no worry of expressions/strings matching themselves. I'm not nessecarily against the changes, but that explains why these weren't seen elsewhere. Collin
