I'm not even sure it's a good idea. Why would we waste _everyone_'s
time doing something so mechanical?

I think we should automate the rebuild. We shouldn't encourage anyone
to take time away just to rebuild a package with no other change,
because that's time spent doing something that can be automated
instead of time spent on stuff that can't. If it makes the packages
look ugly, that doesn't matter. %{dist} is just a guideline after
all.
