Yep.
And I did not mean to suggest we build absolutely everything in lenny.

Still leaves the issue of running buildd and handling logs.

Can we have a show of hands with respect to this point? I brought that up last
year as a way to make re-inclusion easier but it is by no means clear that this
will actually help at all.
At this time, I would rather consider dropping that requirement.
Survival of the port may ultimately depend more on attracting new helpers than
on re-inclusion in the main distribution.
