In my opinion, the option to build packages is only useful to people who

I totally agree with you.
Extremely important to get binary package management right, including
dependency handling, (automatic) updating.
Yes. But how do you manage those softs, unfortunately extremely
important, which cannot be delivered in binary form, like Java,
and their dependencies?
If it was not for these softs, and some other softs like Gnome, which
are constantly broken for any reason, i have the impression (illusion?)
that portupgrade -PP would do the job perfectly.
