Any customizations to the upstream tarball seem to me to be part and parcel with specifying its source. Plus, usually describing the repackaging only takes a sentence or maybe a paragraph, which is a bit short to warrant a separate file. I'll open a wishlist bug against developers-reference. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
