     I don't expect those instructions to be posted on the debian
site, since they are a work-around for a bug in the script.  I am
expecting a fixed version of the script to be posted soon.

     Keep in mind that autoup.sh is a work in progress.  If and when
it is released as part of the 2.0 distribution there will be a HOWTO
or README explaining how to use it.  (I say "if" because some
developers are hoping to give dselect the capability to handle this
upgrade before the release date.)
