[darcs-users] Including *.tex in the next Darcs release tarball.

[Here, I have my Debian packager hat on.]
The 2.3.0 release was our first Cabal-only release, and as the Cabal
tarball doesn't include .tex files, there's no way for to build the
user manual of that stable release.
Recently a couple of people have asked about how they can get an
up-to-date user manual, so clearly there's more interest than I
thought. I also found out that the GNUmakefile can still be used to
build the user manual (thanks to Petr, I think).
So, I think the next release of Darcs could include the .tex and
GNUmakefile files in its source tarball. This would not help
cabal-install users at all, but it would allow distros that build from
that source tarball (e.g. Debian) to build the manual.
Thoughts?
