Both of these workarounds will get me a personally useful file, but neither is appropriate for situations where I'm setting up rendering styles for clients or other people and need to help them help themselves.

Where would I put in a formal request that those lines be deleted from the osm2pgsql code, or submit a patch? The instructions here suggest that Trac is the right place, but I seem to need a Trac login to file a report:

Jon Burgess is helping me off-list with some interesting intermediate files from the processor that he linked to in a previous mail. I'm interested in seeing those made available at the "official" URL, http://hypercube.telascience.org/~kleptog/.
