IMHO, it is rather important. Remember that, if this recompilation is not
done, people will not be able to install new packages from slink, if they
don't upgrade their libc6 to slink's version. This is not the Debian way: one
think I like in Debian is that you can upgrade as will, there are no
gratuitous dependencies, unlike commercial Unices.

Of course, Alpha maintainers do not have the problem :-)

I thought we had a lot of time before the (multiple) CDs and the boot-floppies are ready?
