BTW: What to do with foomatic-* ?
I redesigned this module some time ago to always download recent version from 
linuxprinting on-line database server. Before it used lunar download server 
with static and prehistoric foomatic inside.
I tried it today and still works great. The updated field is 20051228 but 
foomatic-db is rebuilded every 24h so only new foomatic installations get 
recent foomatic. The rest of lunarians who not lined it by hand remains not 
updated since 20051228.

Is this UPDATED=`date -u +%Y%m01` legal for all cvs-like modules or we are 
going to setup different rules per each module? I would feel better updating 
modules knowing there is official rule for dynamic updated= field. The m0x 
monthly update looks very good. I think it would be better to set for x 
different number per module to avoid big monthly updates on one day.

just MHO,
