Good plan. Only thing I might do different is find a better name for the

Tobias, we already have a ticket for this.
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2533, as you can see there
are some issues with this
It appears that gentoo-ftp-repo; no longer works, I checked out the
directory (ftp://ftp.linux.ee/pub/gentoo) and it's completely empty.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what to substitute this with?

Addendum.
I just noticed that this issue was discussed 5 months ago, I believe it
was decided to wait and see. 5 months is a long time for something to
be broken without someone noticing it, and so I think it's time to change
the ftp value.

I just noticed that there's a note on the BLFS homepage that reads,

FAQ:
Under D-Bus we use the --libexec flag to put the files in
/usr/lib/dbus-1.0. However, with the Glib bindings we don't do that even
though it puts files in /usr/libexec. I think that we should use
--libexecdir for the bindings, '--libexecdir=/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-glib'
should be suitable.
The mutt page mentions the use of GnuPG 2, however it fails to mention
the need for gpg2 to be symlinked to gpg in order for the imported
commands to work. The attached patch corrects this.
