Sorry for not having been clear, but that's what I've done and no, it
doesn't work.  That's why I asked help here.  Thanks anyway!

Anyway, I think I'll manually replace "$Name: $" with "$Name:
release_11_88 $" just in order to be able to compile the package and
prepare the tarball for CTAN, and we'll try to fix this after the
release.

Bye,
