Everytime new builds are pushed.

The package updater must not crash so badly in this situation. It is an
uncaught exception afterall. Rather it could default to "genre=optional".

The push scripts only publishes well-formed comps files. The issues
I've fixed had caused the pushscript to report warnings and reject
the comps updates. "packagereq" was misspelled multiple times. But
"genre=optinoal" is a typo that needs a dtd/schema based check,
which is more than just checking that the xml is well-formed. The
comps file that broke pirut was well-formed.
