No, what needs to be added to the document is instructions on how

I can understand how Karl or anyone else might be led to fix these
things up by hand, as above, but it's better to use the tool designed

Do you think this manual page will help someone who doesn't have a
jpackage-style installation or compat package? What is needed is
for that to be included in the disto. Or at least full
