Do you still think this is an issue? It is natually still big, but I do
find that readability has improved quite a bit since I removed the
Updated/fixed packages list for -rc1. I currently still add it for later
rc's, but we could drop that as well if people prefer.

I think we should add it to CHANGES, and add a short notice in the
manual that earlier BR versions used a different br2-external setup.
