I guess one way to handle this would also be:

* add the code to the master perl detect.pl script after the release as
 a bugfix (which it is)
* wait a week for things to fail catastrophically
* backport to release branch

It's one way of doing it. It would leave a majority of users with manual changes to their optionlist in simfactory, because the default isn't working. I don't want to go that way. If we do, I would vote to add those to LIBS already in simfactory, and add to the release notes that if you happen to use the debian (or also redhat I believe) optionlists on something else than Linux, you better remove those.

If we don't include the linux-query (perl) code in the release, I also think we shouldn't include at all, but instead properly fix the library list. We can query the library after it has been built. All we need to do is to make it possible to tell Cactus about those.
