a) Is this really an issue for maintainers?

b) Does it really matter?

c) So the flow will look like:

...
src_unpack
src_prepare
src_configure
src_compile
...

To me this seems like an unnecessary overgeneralisation. The *only*
potential "benefit" I see here is that at some point of time in the
nebulous future, it might be possible to tell the PM to always skip
src_prepare in order to give a system where everything is "vanilla".

This is not something I see as being useful to us.
