The source packages are made available, and we make an attempt to build
them.  However, if they fail to build, we do not take time to fix them as a
matter of course.  (contrast with main and restricted, where failures are
high-priority bugs)

If it is something which can be trivially fixed, LaMont will fix it;
otherwise, patches are gratefully accepted.  We have a release to make. :-)
