Hi,

you're right, I've re-added those BYHAND rules and the converted package
builds fine for me. I think we should create a release soon, so that we
can see if everything still works as expected. More testers are welcome!

Your suggestion with an alternative mechanism for ftp-master to update
those files on the archive mirrors (instead of BYHAND) is great. We
should ask them about ideas how this could work. However, I think they
may need some time off so shortly after the release ... :-)

Regards,
Tobias
