But an admin may no longer freely synchronize the conffile across the whole heterogeneous installation. This assumption that all the world is Debian, and introducing gratituous incompatibility with the rest of the TeX world is what smacks of bad design decisions. manoj -- "...'fire' does not matter, 'earth' and 'air' and 'water' do not matter. 'I' do not matter. No word matters. But man forgets reality and remembers words. The more words he remembers, the cleverer do his fellows esteem him. He looks upon the great transformations of the world, but he does not see them as they were seen when man looked upon reality for the first time. Their names come to his lips and he smiles as he tastes them, thinking he knows them in the naming."
