Would it be sensible/feasible/desirable to add a fake
'destination-packman' dependency to all multimedia packages that are to
be published on packman? Then in any similar circumstances a rebuild of
all packman packages could be triggered by touching/updating the
dependency. Or is a complete rebuild of Multimedia the sensible
long-term solution?
