Wasn't this going to change? Or was in discussion at least? There was
some concern about buildroot poisoning, but that rarely happens
(although it has happened to me once with nx ...), and if it happens
it isn't really detected anyway until it gets higher visibility.

The problem is that some packages need to be built and pushed
together, even for updates-testing.
