Commit fe9da04 is a pain to review, as it mixes renaming files, with
changing their content. So, I'm manually diff'ing the old files with
the new ones.

Just curious: is armored output really needed?

The rest is about the documentation:

I suspect this can create problems when run with a strict umask.

I think it should be minimally documented why one still needs a clone
on veewee's Git, after installing the Gem.

One too much word?

Isn't that what a sed command above does?

Does #5498 still apply? The notes about it were removed, but we still
instruct to install the gem as root, so I'm wondering.

It looks like perhaps some functionality was dropped (which is fine),
but perhaps other bits are still relevant? (at least the part that
explains what Veewee does, and points to the preseeding doc)

Cheers!
