I hope they don't change their approaches, as that would likely be yet 
another maintenance hassle for us. However, not every distribution has a 
source-code package so we'll need a backstop approach anyway, and the 
backstop can be what I suggested. We can also tune Emacs for the major 
distributions that have such packages, if someone finds the time to do 
that and if we're willing to maintain the resulting extra complexity; 
but that won't avoid the need for the backstop.
