I've been wondering if we don't need an UPDATING entry for UUCP,
suggesting that:

(1) The user install the UUCP package in the future, if they use UUCP
or
(2) They garbage collect the UUCP binaries scattered around the system:
    they still present a security risk, and won't be deleted in the
    upgrade unless it's a reinstall.

BTW, was the security problem ever actually fixed in the seperate UUCP
distribution?  If not, we may need to add a warning to the package.
