Yes, I cancelled the builds in 'staging' so that Hydra would focus on
rebuilding 'security-updates', whose patches have since been applied to
master.

Unfortunately, the recent 'imlib2' update rendered most of that
rebuilding obsolete, and now we need to rebuild the web browsers,
libreoffice, and Qt/KDE all over again.  Oh well.

Anyway, here's what I'd recommend: after the most important packages are
rebuilt on 'master', let's merge 'master' into 'staging' and start
another evaluation of 'staging'.

What do you think?
