Ah, I see! Good point.
You mean that because the included files are changed, someone may fail
to notice this and skip regenerating the sendmail.cf and submit.cf
files.
I think a forced commit is a good idea, but I don't know if there is
precedent for doing this after Sendmail upgrades. Mr. Gregory Shapiro,
our Sendmail maintainer, is probably the best person to decide about
this.
