I did the first 2 steps and it all seemed to install cleanly. In
particular, I got this:
Setting up jadetex (3.13-7) ...
Configuration file `/etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf'
==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
I accepted the new version.
Should I proceed with the remaining steps, or should I just delete
the .dontuse file?
I'm running testing.
