unfortunately upstream authors appear not to think about such
problems... and I'd like to know why.

That would be *really* great - only that I've never heard about it.
Would gladly take any pointers :)

Btw, when upgrading from ATB 1.5.58 to 1.5.59 I noticed that several
libs didn't get upgraded since ATB assumes that the result will run
on the same machine than the one where it's compiled. This should
generally be a wrong assumption, but may be induced by upstream
author's package mechanisms. Further investigation required...

Do you have any links, please?
