One other solution (IMHO the best): work towards making modules
available in "ursine" buildroots. plexus-utils is a modular package
and I will continue to maintain it as part of modules. Making it
possible to use modular packages as build dependencies will allow
plexus-utils (and hundreds of other packages) to be safely retired
without affecting other packages.
