Ahh, bummer.  And you say there is little chance of fixing sbdmock to
run apt-get upgrade as well?

(I would argue that any buildbot should run apt-get upgrade before
building things, and possibly even apt-get dist-upgrade.)

Anyway, let's assume we can not fix our own buildbot.

Then I propose to put maemo-optify into the sdk repo, add a dependency
to it from build-essential and make a new SDK release.

Whenever we need to update maemo-optify, we need to make a new
rootstrap.

I don't think I am in the best positition to carry out this plan,
however.  Any takers?
