I'm currently in the process of working my way through the current
packaging, and there is quite a lot I am going to simplify. As the
Debian build scripts do not expect this file to be autogenerated, I
think it would be counterproductive to do so; it can seriously affect
reproducability of builds.
(actually, I would like to ask not to fix things in the Debian packaging
that aren't broken, as providing an upgrade path for earlier versions
will be a lot less painful then)
Simon
