I've just done lots of QA work tracking down build failures while
bootstrapping a new architecture, typically in pet packages that have
gone largely unmaintained after a small number of uploads.
Out of curiosity, why are pet packages important for bootstra

Debian already has 35 thousand binary packages. Do we really need to
package everything? Even a tiny software toy brings a bit of burden
