These are are generated by the build process and have timestamps in them. I guess I probably checked in to my VCS a generated version. This (and the other things you mention) I can fix. Is there a canonical way to revert files that are autogenerated _and_ shipped in upstream? I guess I could add explicit copy and restore to debian/rules. Is there a better approach? I think patching won't work because of the timestamps. David
