I would love a standard place for this sort of thing, but havent come
up with one yet.
If the information required were shorter, I might suggest some sort of
simple one-liner pkginfo line, but some things probably benefit from a
longer explanation.

a special "i" file?
prototype(4) says that "i" files are "information" files. The question
is, are the names reserved, or can we randomly make up our own?

Empirical experimentation says yes we can. I just created a package with an

i completelyfake

file :-)

So now we just need a standardized name.

i cswreleasemgr

?
The definition/description for this file in our docs would be something like,
"This optional file contains notes for the release manager(and
maintainer) describing why this package has exceptions to normally
expected package behaviour or layout"

Sound good?
