The files in this directory are development helpers
only, probably of interest to you only if you are
developing the package.  You do not need these files to
build, install or use the package, nor strictly do you
need them even to modify the package.  In fact you could
delete the entire directory without ill effect.  If
modifying the package, however, you may optionally find
some of the scripts here convenient.

Several of the files are scripts.  You can "bash
letexec" to make these executable.

The file helper/dict is a local dictionary for ispell.
You can use it with "ispell -x -p helper/dict
tex/*.{tex,bib}", for example.

The file helper/vim contains nothing but some macros the
author likes to use when editing the book with "vim -S
helper/vim-macros tex/foo.tex".  It is supposed that
most people probably prefer making their own little
editor macros (for their own favorite editors); so,
unless you like using other people's editor macros for
some reason, you can ignore the file.

Because these files are just development helpers, they
are only minimally documented.  The comments at or near
the head of the file explain what each file is and what
it is for.  Refer to the various files for further
information.

If this helper/ directory interests you, then so
probably also will the script debian/mkorig and
the 'orig' and 'orig-force' targets in debian/rules.
