When you go through the hassles of automated mass mailing the respective
maintainers, why not try it first yourself? At least the first two
points can be automated easily, e.g. with pbuilder.

Recently, I (re-)built the whole archive with pbuilder on my machine and
didn't notice a problem with one of my packages. The same can be done
with installing packages.

Next time, this could help preventing mass mailing where I'm sure that
many developers will just ignore it for the above reason.

Thanks for considering.
