Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] why is wiretap/Makefile in CVS?

Every time I forget to do a "make distclean" before "cvs update", CVS tells me that "wiretap/Makefile" is in the way and to move it away.

Also, if I diff the whole wiretap directory, it diffs the Makefile as well as the files that have actually changed.

Any reason why? (I suppose there is; I guess the real question is can it be fixed?)

Also note that the file does not show up in the list when I go in through ViewCVS:
