I haven't read the thread's begining but I could help out too. It might be 
also worth it to make sure the man pages gets installed in /usr/share/man. 
That way we'll do the FSH man pages todo at the same time as the license 
todo.  There's also a bug report about an important number of PKGBUILD 
with missing md5sums. We should make sure these gets added too (when 
building packages for other devs, sometime the md5sums are missing).
