(One can always say No.) However: in the case of setup, should we not now be offered setup-2.457.2-1-src.tar.bz2 (or similar)? And secondly I do not really understand why what actually comes down the pipeline for gcc-testsuite is gcc-testsuite-3.4.1-1-src.tar.bz2 (though there may be a good reason for this, too).
