That would be fine for me. Not the perfect solution, but I guess
only few people are even using lout (I don't, I just had a look at
it out of curiosity), and those who are using it should be smart
enough to look at current.html when they get conflicts during the
update ;-)

And since nothing depends on lout, so a pkg_delete / pkg_add won't
hurt anyone.
