FYI, this broke jhalfs's ability to automatically run the makefile
because of the lack of md5sums for bootscripts and udev-config
tarballs. Not likely a big deal as those of us building SVN had better
know why. However, when a release time comes, add another line to the
release checklist as those entities should probably be replaced with
real values in the book's source since they will be static. I haven't
looked yet, but I don't think it should be difficult.
