In a past discussion it was said that parts of fink compiled with one
flavor of X11 installed might break if a different flavor were to be
installed.

there a known list?

threaded XFree86 (e.g. the xfree86-threaded-* packages) broke when running

Fink Commander lets you do a batch rebuild, but you do have to preselect
all the packages. This would work pretty easily for KDE, since everything
is either in the kde or crypto section.

As I like to install from source I do a lot of compiling.
Probably my knowledge is not enough to become a maintainer
of a package.
But I wonder: all this (CPU-)time to generate a .deb
archive just for myself? Can the maintainers use these one
way or another?

It's nice to have the debs available, though. It makes it easy to

No need to do anything drastic--the compile takes place in a safe
directory. Just try to do the install again, and there should be no
problem.
In general, if a compile job gets stopped in the middle (e.g. by a system
shutdown or a Control-C in the terminal window), you will have to start
it over.
Before I file this as a bug (or rather several bugs), any thoughts:
