+# Upstream uses a massive home-made Makefile which has since the beginning
+# required massive amounts of patching to make it behave reasonably
+# (as well as to fix the problems which ostensibly led upstream to
+# abandoning CMake, and which they immediately re-introduced in their NIH
+# solution) and which if anything have only got worse since then. One,
+# optional, reverse dependency in the tree.
+# Removal on 2023-11-26. Bug #916289.
