Anyway, it works fine.

Is it OK to use the two following parameters in inn.conf:
extraoverview: [ ]
extraoverviewadvertise: [ ]
Do you see a better name?
The first one is for generated extra overview field (Xref: is mandatory
and not listed in the value). The second one for advertising in LIST
OVERVIEW.FMT requests.
extraoverviewadvertise must be the beginning of extraoverview (it will
be checked). That is to say that
extraoverview: [ Newsgroups NNTP-Posting-Host ]
extraoverviewadvertise: [ Newsgroups ]
is valid but
extraoverview: [ Newsgroups ]
extraoverviewadvertise: [ Newsgroups NNTP-Posting-Host ]
is *not* valid (the overview would be inconsistent).
The patch to remove the overview.fmt file is almost done and works
pretty well. I just want to be sure for the names before committing
(because we have only one shot with innupgrade!).
