I'm glad to see that the follow-ups have already pointed you to updated
documentation.  That said, the bad documentation in README.server is still
a bug in the Debian package; please feel encouraged to report a Debian bug
about it, so that I will have a more obvious reminder to fix it, when I
next upload a version of the package.

Thanks for the report, and sorry for the stale documentation.
