before you send all kind of SRs (as you already started): Maybe we can finalize the discussion here and get consensus that this is wishful and helpful?
What do we gain (not hypothetical, but real), what do we risk?
IMHO: diverting from what an upstream provides / proposes in such cases should be well understood and not 'just done'.
And also: why not just do it upstream first and wait for the next upstream tarball? Is this really urgent?
Like Richard said: it makes sense to use it for upstream developers and it's a valid distribution optimization (if it really matters) to remove it.
Sure, but it makes no sense for a distribution to carry a patch forever for this. It just makes our life more difficult in the long term. In general, I'm pretty much against non-upstream patches changing the build system unless there's a really good reason for them. Optimization is not a good enough reason for me: if the optimization matters, it should be of interest to other distros too and so should be upstreamable in some way anyway.
