Jean-Pierre,



1) How did this happen that file /INSTALL.txt is not in stable but is in 
testing?


My original plan was that stable was simply going to be a periodic 
snapshot of testing.  With that strategy it would never be possible for 
stable to be ahead of testing.   Periodic merges would be done from 
testing into stable.


Therefore I am confused as to how a file could be deleted from stable 
and not from testing.



2) Also, I think it is harmful to have the internat directory tree 
present in stable.  It is now in the docs, repo.  Any objections if I 
delete it from stable?
