	In which case, could we have a package that delivers the
 packaging manual in SGML form, so we may process it as we wish? (I
 also wish all info files were also present as texi files, so I could
 run TeX on them).

	I know they are available in the source package, but dselect
 does not know how to get them off the ftp sites. 

	Maybe I'm opening a can of worms here. I wish there was an
 easy front end to handle getting individual source packages. So I
 could maybe compile some personally (I can't send Faxes using mgetty
 fax --- I have a US robotics sportster modem -- I need to recompile
 to set some config flags, I think).

	Something a future version of deity should handle?
