I want to follow up to make sure I'm not misunderstood here. I mean that by
not having busgrap or sboxes in contrib, I don't mean not having them in the
groff distribution at all, but rather placing them alongside the "main",
regular content, i.e., where Deri's gropdf and other contributions already
are.
