ok, fine with me.  The benefits of the packing lists are:
  - ensure repeatable builds on various OS and with various sets of
    installed things
  - be able to check that upstream changes are intended

More than 90% of the time I ask, it's intended.  But not always.

I see, and that's ok.  Maybe sunset pre-3.0 support?  But I suspect
there's a long tail of not-ugpraded systems.

Correct, I don't.  There is something about standardizer that is
required that I'm not sure about, and I force it off so that I get
repeatable builds (specifically, my system vs a system where *only* the
packages that are declared as dependencies are installed).  I should
look at this again; the ball is in my court for sure.

I'm also not sure about sfcgal.  I may have to package that first.
Again ball in my court.
