Well, I guess it's not that bad for distros, because proto packages are "-dev" on Debian, "devel" on other distros, and only devel packages might depend on protos (that is, not so many) But I do not think there is any emergency in including the merge package into the book, and certainly not before 8.2! Who files an "x-future" ticket, so that we don't forget?
