If you specify it, you need amend it as you specify... But many (if
not all) *should* manage without since SA should take care of it by
default (mine does). I think this just _might_ depend a bit on what
(packaged) SA one is using, but I haven't corroborated this in any
way.
Specifying it correctly will work for everyone though, so ... Perhaps
one should formulate the wiki entry along those lines?
