Bug Description
While patching install-ubuntu.html (and others) I discovered that these files end in typical DOS formated line ending characters or a Carriage Return (CR) and a Line Feed (LF), as compared to what unix and mac use which is a single LF characters.
When trying to patch the above files they cause quilt to fail due to the line ending mismatch. As a courtousy to us unix users would you please run dos2unix on the tarball before the next release. Converting from the CRLF to the LF format will not have any affect on windows users and will allow the unix tools to work correctly.
Best Regards
Charlie Smotherman

In source release tarballs, the files mentioned are no longer included. Should be enough to consider it solved.
My proposed patch for debian for the current release, which we can't fix anymore, would be to just remove the whole websiteGenerator directory. Solved along with #1276934 (different bugs, same fix).
