ACK. Sometimes upstreams doing really stange things (maybe because
they dont have any package management in mind), that should be fixed.
If upstream doesnt do those fixes, distros have to catch in.
Look, the purpose of distros is to provide an consistent, robust
and mainainable environment. Sometimes the distro maintainers
have to bite in the bitter apple and cleanup upstreams's dirt.
