Two questions:

- how was the order ensured when we did the FE4 mass rebuild?
- how was it handled in fedora core when the mass rebuild for gcc 4.1
happend?

*If* the answer is "it was ignored" I'm inclined to do exactly that for
FE5, too, *if* no one steps up and presents a proper solution.

AFAICS this could be:

- create the bugs with the correct deps in the build order (remember: we
have over 1300 packages iirc, doing this manually won't work)
- we have a script that builds everything in the correct order
- we drop the complete extras tree and start a new one in parallel
- <your solution here>
