I'm sorry, I thought I took much care with it.  There was one bug
report on my previous packaging (-2) regarding external source, and I

Ah, and have error messages sent to (or cc'd to) the maintainer.  That
might be a good idea, as long as users don't (ab)use those addresses
for questions that should go to cygwin@cygwin.com.
