[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Receipt Templates Quirkiness in 2.0.6

[Thomas Berezansky]

Automatic updates can't push anything that isn't in the install  
directory, and will have issues with anything that can be changed per  
install. Although I suppose changing the *default* templates could be  
pushed with automatic updates, but that won't have an effect on  
customized ones.

You also can't easily push updates per org unit, for example.
