All JUNK class packages output at the beginning of their build the
following message:

+----------------------------------Warning------------------------------------+
| This OpenPKG package is of class JUNK.                                      |
| It is in development state and still not even ready for evaluation.         |
| Do not use it at all, as it is definitely unstable and incomplete.          |
| Only CORE and BASE class packages are production grade.                     |

So, you see what JUNK really means: those packages are both incompletely
packaged and hence totally unusable. I would not even _try_ to _build_
those packages. But as I said in my other mail, fortunately we currently
have just 19 of 1039 packages which fall into this classification.
