You IMHO not -- we instead should put up a xen instance somewhere where
this and similar scripts get regularly started by cron.
BTW, sorting the list by owner's username would make finding the
packages that are owned by me a little bit easier IMHO.

Tracking such stuff seems not worth the trouble to me. Should we
blacklist this specific file? Or does anybody have a better idea
(besides converting upstream to put a proper changelog somewhere that
doesn't have unnecessary dynamic updates)?
