My understanding (which could easily be out of date) is that the 
buildhost builds with moko-autorev.inc (which negates the impact of 
sane-srcrevs.inc for a set of openmoko-related packages).

Why they do that, which is effectively pushing completely untested 
builds onto thousands of end-users, is beyond my understanding.

Openmoko should have a single set of known good versions (documented in 
sane-srcrevs.inc) which are distributed to the public through the 
buildhost daily builds.  Individual openmoko developers working on a 
certain package should let the version for their specific package float 
while they are testing the new version, but as soon as they are 
confident the new version works, then they should update sane-srcrevs so 
that the public gets the newly tested version.
