Someone would have to find a "killer feature" to justify touching this amount 
of packages :). Not to mention that such changes should happen upstream and I 
(probably a number of other maintainers too) would not maintain local patches 
for smth like it, but if someone convince upstreams to use the new way I 
wouldn't mind it at all too.
Please everyone think first what amount of other work can be done for the time 
needed to modify these 5319 packages.
