OK, then leave the plumbing, and put the reason yow.lines was truncated
at the top of the file (above the NUL), and include only one quote:

  THIS FILE HAS BEEN TRUNCATED FOR THIS RELEASE:
  you are encouraged to add your own quotes.
  See etc/yow.lines for details and replacement format.

That way, they'll still get *something*, but it's clear that it's not the
original and it also will encourage other files to be inserted (perhaps a GPL
fortune file or something).
