Changes to TPM files?
Hi Norbert,
how should we handle such patches:
--- LocalTPM/texmf-dist/tpm/metafont.tpm (Revision 1659)
+++ LocalTPM/texmf-dist/tpm/metafont.tpm (Arbeitskopie)
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@

Just apply? Discuss upstream (well, in this case it's a clear
Copy&Paste bug, but generally?) Apply and notify upstream?
Here's a similar one, maybe not without discussion:

(I don't think that the phrase "regarded as" makes any sense in this
context, it's just redundant and maybe confusing).
