Oh, and I forgot to include my own observation that as soon as you edit
this file (and people invariably do) it is no longer updated
automatically on each upgrade, so the docs embedded in it may drift out
of date with the controls themselves (granted, the .dpkg-dist contains
the new doc, but then you're back to having to open another terminal
to consult it). Therefore, it is better to keep the doc in a file that
is guaranteed to be upgraded with each release.
