I agree to that and that's what's documented as "Proposed workflow" on
the website [1]. However, imho this should be considered a (strong)
recommendation ("should") rather than a "must". In case people really
don't like that approach, they should be free to do it differently. I'd
strongly recommend to add some notes to README.source in that case,
though, so other people know what to do in case they want to modify the
package.

Ack :-)

Cheers,
