Yep. I've already updated the mini FAQ. Next time DJ posts it, you should see
a line like:
ispell-3.2.06 less-374 m4-1.4 make-3.79.1 patch-2.5.3 perl-5.6.1r2
If there's no r-n in the mini FAQ for a package then either it's the first
release or there's no release information in the .ver file or DSM.
