I meant this differently: pkgdiff takes are care that no RCS Ids that
are in the external sources get added to the diff (which would be
changed on the next cvs commit, and then the patch wouldn't apply
cleanly anymore). It also adds the NetBSD RCS tag, of course, but
that's a different matter.

Since only we both are still discussing this, perhaps we should take
our further conversation off-list ;-)
