You can import the howto, but I think it needs some updates. It seems
that Oracle doesn't work with linux_{base|devtools}-6.1 and that
linux_{base|devtools}-5.2 must be used. I have to verify it, but don't
really have the time right now.

What I'm saying is that the HOWTO itself is a bit out of date. This
doesn't mean that you can't import it, but it's good to know :-)
