And, furthermore, to reduce duplication of work, we always have the
option to move the packages over to build.o.o and _link them on Packman.
That way, updates and patches are shared and only done once, but we can
still provide the packages in the Packman repository ;)

(but it still consumes build power on our infrastructure and doesn't
alleviate the problem of people using Packman for multimedia also
getting updates for those)
