media-gfx/splashutils fails to build, and it fails everytime one of it's
reverse dependency changes dependencies because it fails to use
pkg-config to query "Libs: "
it's supposed to have proxy-maint, but nobody is pushing fixes for the
supposed proxy-maint
it's in no shape to be in tree as-is, and since spock@g.o has retired
and was also the upstream of it, well, there is no upstream for it
no upstream, no downstream, fails to build, bugs with patches but nobody
to push them -> lastriting the package in 2 weeks, this
is the first heads up mail
