:OS version. That's why it is not useful to build them on use -- it might

    This is a problem.  If we have roll a release then bulids of that
    release should produce the same result.  If the packages the release
    uses are 'upgraded' then after a while the build of that release will
    almost certainly stop working simply by becoming too out of date.

    If a security update is required, we update the release branch to reflect
    the update.  Trying to make it automatic based on third party issues will
    likely result in a the build not working any more rather then being the
    brainless update that we'd like it to be.
