For what it's worth I agree too!  ;-)

I had forgotten that xsrc was branched for the releases.  I meant it to
be an "install" problem though -- not an xsrc one.

It would be nice though to see xsrc re-branched for each patch release
though, instead of dragging along ancient unmaintained xsrc code.  That
would of course require updating the distrib/sets lists just as I've
been doing for my own local reelease builds.....
