I like this one. So ok, let me propose this: With rebuilds, it's the library maintainer's job to find all dep packages. There are then two choices: * build everything yourself, if you feel like it (yay!) * make a todolist and post on the arch-dev-public ML so we know that there is a new rebuild todolist. Sound like a good process?
