    The 2.6.3 tarball doesn't include doc/FAQ.txt though as the doc/Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST adjustment was done only on HEAD, not on the gnome-2-6 branch.

    Arse. I swear I committed that to gnome-2-6...

    Could the copy in debian/ be updated with a copy from HEAD then? The
    current FAQ is out of date in places and just plain wrong in others.

    I'd rather not work with people who aren't careful. It's darwinism in
    software development.
