Re: LPPL again
My current take:
legal.txt requires that all files in manifest.txt be included in
the distribution (in debian terms: not necessarily in the same
package but on the same media, with an exception for floppies).
If we're not doing that then we shouldn't be distributting LPPL'd
code.

Um, not exactly.
legal.txt indicates only one manifest.txt -- not all files named
manifest.txt. Furthermore, it indicates that a proper manifest.txt
will list legal.txt... so I think the pieces are seperable to
that degree.
