Steve,

I must have missed your email on this back in August!   I've updated to
the current Intrepid sources, appended my patch to the 027- patch file,
and it looks decent.

I also discovered (after much reading of Makefile.in and configure
scripts) how to build the docs "properly"!  If you sudo apt-get install
ldp-docbook-xsl (and all its recommended hangers-on), when you then run
./configure the Makefiles now include the Make.xml.rules file.  At this
point you can do (this is my example, but the principle applies to many
subdirs)

  cd modules/pam_limits
  rm limits.conf.5 pam_limits.8 README
  make limits.conf.5 pam_limits.8 README

and the docs get regenerated :-)

Possibly better yet, if you edit Make.xml.rules and uncomment the final
line

  CLEANFILES += $(man_MANS) README

you can then do something more like

  cd modules/pam_limits
  make clean
  make install_man

and all the documentation pages in that directory will be regenerated
(it then fails to install them because you're not root, but this is
good.  There's no Makefile target to just build all doc files in a given
directory, as far as I can see.)

bzr: Hmm.  I know cvs and svn pretty well, but have so far managed to
avoid all these new-fangled distributed VCSes <grin>... maybe I need to
learn?  Is there a "bzr for MOTUs" type of document around somewhere to
get me started?

Anyway, I'll try to get a fresh debdiff with the single 027 patch file
and the updated documentation files in a few hours and upload it here.
