Package: smlnj
Version: 110.52-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

The smlnj package build attempts to download files from a web site
during the build.  Aside from being a policy violation, this means that
the package cannot be built on machines disconnected from the internet
and will become unbuildable should upstream stop distributing the
relevant files.

fetch bootfiles archive
|  (boot.ppc-unix.* or 110.52-boot.ppc-unix.*)
|  from http://smlnj.cs.uchicago.edu/dist/working/110.52/
|  and then re-run this script!

One possible solution would be for these files to be downloaded and
included in the source package.
