That is a temporary fix (and maybe the best fix), but won't solve it 
until a policy is followed.

How do we restrict others from adding packages to same repo? (Like 
packages from pomegranate.tastylime.net.)

How do we restrict others from replacing the pkg_summary database? (Like 
I did.)

We do know where individual packages came from. +BUILD_INFO has 
BUILD_HOST. But maybe should have some statement about the collection as 
a whole.

And also since the original comments I saw were about firefox and 
midori, what can we do to make sure thay are built?

(There is another problem maybe too about fontconfig which I will 
respond to another email and Cc you on.)
