<hilliard@debian.org> from sources obtained from
ftp.dict.org/pub/dict, and http://www.jargon.org.

Changes:
 * added Debian GNU/Linux package maintenance system files

     The Jargon file is distributed with the following notice:

This document (the Jargon File) is in the public domain, to be freely
used, shared, and modified.  There are (by intention) no legal
restraints on what you can do with it, but there are traditions about
its proper use to which many hackers are quite strongly attached.
Please extend the courtesy of proper citation when you quote the File,
ideally with a version number, as it will change and grow over time.
(Examples of appropriate citation form: "Jargon File 4.2.0" or "The
on-line hacker Jargon File, version 4.2.0, 24 JAN 2000".)
