I have and my mail is a new spin on the same topic. The old thread has
been dead since May and hopefully this revigorates it.

Option 1 in my mails follows your 'Message-ID:
<20040505102327.GA5013@grep.be>' suggestion of "I've been
wondering... why bother? Why can't we just make build-arch and
build-indep mandatory" while Option 2 refreshes another option of
having a new Entry in the control file.
