that's only relevant for plugins which are not included in the main distro.
The objective is to make it not
- remove instructions about untarring this plugin (since it's already shipped)
- remove version numbers, which are not updated for a long time and not
relevant anymore.
- remove changelogs, since they don't log the changes (we do that in the
main ChangeLog).
- explicitly state that this plugin is not maintained anymore by the
original authors (so bugs/etc get sent to us in stead of someone who
maintained it four years ago).
If ok I'd like to put this in stable aswell.
