I think in principle yes. I.e.: - non rebuildable binaries packages (binary only packages) - packages with license that don't allow you to redistribute modified binary (pine and mozilla are nearly at this level) - packages that don't allow you to modify sources, and with actual buggy sources (not buildable with out libs, with 64-bit archs, with non popular archs, ..) Technically only point 2 are not really rebuildable, but you should check the other two cases, or you will loose time and resources. ciao cate
