That specific file is tt-monty-knights . Are the tt-* used in any
scripts?

Speaking of tt, I see that some files that used to be tt- are no longer
so:

  carried-away-by-monkeys
  lots-o-monkeys
  the-monkeys-twice (?)
  weasels-eaten-phonesys

This message should be considered as an excuse to check the contents of
the -extra package for those who didn't do so yet :-)
