doc splitting upload, other things to fix?
HI all!
I have tested the doc-splitting packages (all packages
install-remove-install-purge, those with old versions with
installold-upgrade-remove-install-purge-install). Did work out nicely.
I am planning to upload those beasts, but before uploading I want to
take a look at the open stuff from some time ago:

Ok, we can leave this it will get a lenny-ignore anyway.
If you have anything else for the current packages let me know as soon
as possible!

On ornate head-dress or loose garment worn by a person in the belief
that it renders then invisibly native and not like a tourist at
all. People who don huge colonial straw collie hats with 'I Luv Lagos'
on them in Nigeria, or fat solicitors from Tonbridge on holiday in
Malaya who insist on appearing in the hotel lobby wearing a sarong
know what we're on about.
