Then I would have to file a bug report on almost all of the
Debian/Ubuntu patches to Mailman.  I looked at them all, and I discarded
most.  I kept a few that were related to where libraries were put.
I was not interested in making source code modifications where
1) I don't fully understand the source that comes from SourceForge, and
2) there is no documentation as to what the Debian changes do.

It would be nice to know what each change does, but since I am
not installing most of them, it really does not matter.
