A small patch to "Magdir/linux"

1) I guess the mail I sent to you got Quoted-Printableized by some piece
   of mail software.  The "a" in "Nicolas" is supposed to have an "a"
   with an acute accent, the hex code for which is E1; the version from
   Debian Linux had it.

   I've turned it into an ordinary boring "a" in this mail, just to
   prevent it from getting QPized, but you may want to turn it into an
   "a with acute accent".

   (Then again, the one in the "LSM entries" line has no accent....)

2) There was a mysterious mostly-blank line with a file offset of 20;
   was that a typo, or is it useful?

Also, the 3.23 "tar" file has "linux.orig" and "linux.rej" files in
"Magdir".
