This package was put together by Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho
<ajk@debian.org>.  The upstream sources were obtained from
<URL:http://www.well.com/user/djello/mixal-1.08.tar.gz>.  Upstream
maintainer is Darius Bacon <djello@well.com>.

This package does not use pristine source, since the upstream tarball
contained example programs that are taken verbatim from Knuth vol 1.
In Eric Raymond's opinion, including them (and a copy of the relevant
parts of the books, which has been removed from the tarball by
upstream) would be "fair use", but I'm not convinced of that.
Therefore, I've removed the files
   mixal/elevator.mix 
   mixal/mystery.mix
   mixal/prime.mix  
from the source tarball.  If someone has a convincing argument for
including them (for example, an explicit permission from Addison
Wesley Longman), I'll put them back again.  But for now, they will
stay out.
