From a8a614a7018918e987585c2d07189024c640cb3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kay Sievers Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2005 18:50:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] remove outdated and misleading stuff Packagers who still need this, should carry it in their own package. It just causes too much trouble to users to have it in the tree and expect that it's needed or the way to do it.
