The deeper I look into it, the more one important reason cryrstalizes
out: fully automatic and reproducable builds.

the current package (as it's in the git repo) is NOT meant for
automatic builds.

Indeed, I asked them. They didn't answer anything about the actual
reasons. But at least got some hints, how it's supposed to be built.

I'll give it a try for few hours. If it's still failing, I'll throw
it away completely and go back to self-built mainline. Suck of wasting
my time with that nightmare anymore :(
