Well, failing to do so does give the problem that if something fails, the build
continues.
Personally I think exiting with no useful error message is better than
continuing, despite a failure. That results in package appearing to be
successfully installed, when they are not.
Obviously, having a useful error message is even better, but it gets a bit
tedious to put a check on every single command.
