I didn't so much have a tricky custom configuration, as lots of
accumulated cruft. And while I am indeed using Debian, the
configuration file wasn't generated by Debian's tools - IIRC it
originated in the SGI Freeware distribution before I started customising
it by hand - which would have made me wary of following advice that
might make unannounced Debianish assumptions.
That said, if you could point me at those docs, they might be useful to
help me understand my new config better - I ended up getting someone
else to do the migration, y'see, and while it seems to work just fine, I
really do feel that I ought to learn why it works :-)

I remember when computers were frustrating because they did
exactly what you told them to. That seems kinda quaint now.
