That's a bit off-topic, Max, please, don't change the subject. The ports
quality is the primary target. The  wide choice of pre-built packages --
the secondary.  It seems,  the quality  of the  ports collection  can be
improved  by merging  the  frontpage-<slave> ports  into one  (frontpage
itself), even if  that means there will be no  prebuilt packages for the
slaves for some time.
