I'm filling in some idle hours^Wdays by trying to build rather more
of gnome (on sysv) to see if it fixes the epiphany problems I

I've had two problems.
1. libpwquality is 'Recommended'. That suggests to me that there
ought to be a way of building without it. But it seems to be
required. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/seahorse-git/ suggests
it becamee required in March, so I guess it ought to be promoted to
Required.
2. OpenLDAP is also shown as optional, but it seems that it is now
expected (I guess that would promote it to Recommended although I
cannot imagine why I would ever build that package for home use).
To work around this, I used -Dldap-support=false.
Can I 'promote' those two packages, and add that switch as an
option, or am I missing something ?
Sure, that's reasonable. It's really hard to detect changing
dependencies. Many times we already have these optional or recommended
packages installed so we don't see the issues if they are not installed.
