Don't do this without explicitly checking with the maintainer for a |
| 24 |
package (if existant). Generally redundant entries in package.mask |
| 25 |
don't hurt, so if it's not absolutely clear that the entry is not |
| 26 |
needed anymore keep it. |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |

Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
