And now this is exactly what our users are complainig about (see e.g.
#440702)!

We should not impose restrictions on our users about what they may and
may not do on their private computers. Of course we have to keep them
out of patent-trouble when they use the official packages, but IMHO we
should also provide an easy way for them to rebuild the packages (the
Debian way, not talking about manually compiling SVN snapshots)
according to their needs.
