Thanks.  These are are generated by the build process and have
timestamps in them.  I guess I probably checked in to my VCS a
generated version.  This (and the other things you mention) I can fix.
Is there a canonical way to revert files that are autogenerated _and_
shipped in upstream?  I guess I could add explicit copy and restore to
debian/rules. Is there a better approach? I think patching won't work
because of the timestamps.
