Bruno's suggestion to use README-release.diff may be a good mechanism for
a package to insert specialized sections into that more general template.
However, there are enough uses of @PACKAGE@ that I think it would not be
a good replacement for the simple one-liner to perform the substitution.
So I suggest to add a comment telling the reader to add that one-liner to
autogen.sh or bootstrap.conf's epiloge function. You may also want to
note that as with any gnulib-tool supplied file, it can be customized
via a .diff file as Bruno mentioned.
