Confused about docs for script_files & M::B V 0.280801

Hi Folks

In the docs for Module::Build::API it says, under script_files:

"The default is to install no script files - in other words, there is no
default location where Module::Build will look for script files to
install."

However in my distro dir I have bin/ini.report.pl. This gets installed
automatically (for me, under Debian) as /usr/local/bin/ini.report.pl,
with this Build.PL:

use Module::Build;

Module::Build -> new
(
 module_name    => 'Module::Metadata::Changes',
 license        => 'artistic',
 dist_abstract  => "Manage a module's CHANGES file",
 dist_author    => 'Ron Savage <[email protected]>',
 build_requires =>
 {
	 Test::More => 0,
	 Test::Pod  => 0,
 },
 requires =>
 {
	 Carp                        => 0,
	 Config::IniFiles            => 0,
	 DateTime::Format::HTTP      => 0,
	 DateTime::Format::Strptime  => 0,
	 DateTime::Format::W3CDTF    => 0,
	 HTML::Entities::Interpolate => 0,
	 HTML::Template              => 0,
	 Test::More                  => 0,
	 Test::Pod                   => 0,
	 version                     => 0,
 },
) -> create_build_script();

print "\a\n";
print "* Don't forget to install the CSS and *.tmpl files, which are
\n";
print "* shipped in the htdocs/ directory within the distro, if you \n";
print "* wish to utilize the HTML output options of ini.report.pl. \n";
print "* Run ini.report.pl -h for details. \n";
print "\n";

One user has reported the script not getting installed, but I don't know
the verion of M::B he's using yet.

I take it, however, that the behaviour of the code has changed and the
docs are just out of date?
