I do absolutely see your point, but I have pestered upstream enough for this week with Debian weirdnesses. Maybe it would be better if you seek that discussion yourself and/or file a bug in Upstream bugzilla. Meanwhile, I'll try to find a different wording for the README, but I'd like to stay with what Upstream does for the file mode. Greetings Marc
