At least, autoconf deals with cross-compilation while most of those
who think that they can write decent makefiles fail to do so. Average
software package will require tweaking sources regardless of the
build/configuration system it employs.

Any of this fails to attract my attention in debian, for example.
Except, probably the case when I discovered that ion3 no longer does
xinerama due to you being somehow upset with xinerama API. Just like
you rolled back to an older kernel, I had to roll back to a
known-to-work snapshot of ion3. And I do not take that 'mindless
consumerism' shit; I can tell what's convenient for me from 4+ years
experience with dualhead setups and ion.
