IMO, the Gentoo Way would be to change upstream packages as little as |
17 |
possible. OTOH, distro-neutral patches might work well, and we could |

ship these with a USE="fastboot" option if upstream looks like they |
19 |
might accept the patches. |

The tests would really be a lot more meaningful on a Gentoo setup. |
