I believe this is a very unfortunate advice to give. -current is not
meant to always build without an error, and people following -current
should know that.

Inconsistencies in the flists are error that need to be corrected,
otherwise there will be errors when producing sets.

In that case, Christian already fixed the error, but it was an
actual bug.
