I don't hate dbs. I just get annoyed when packages with complicated build-time patching schemes won't build. My sense is that each of these schemes increases the probability of build-time failures by deferring work that is done for most packages at the source package construction time to the build time... but if the packages are competently constructed and tested, I don't really care how they're structured.
