Erm. This is so wrong on several counts.

• What builds gcc-5 if not the buildds?

• There *will* be people later who build packages for other,
  e.g. new (think arm64) architectures. They need to build them
  in order. Build-Depends is what defines that order; otherwise
  any old package in any version is fine.

Who says this only happens on m68k?

It helps for those architectures who did not build the new gettext
yet, including ports that don’t yet exist.


I would like to hear from either of you two how we can fixup the
situation for m68k in the meantime.
