It's not desired, and the maintainer gets emailed about it at least once a
day by the buildfarm for every platform that fails.
In this case it's something that has been in past distros and used heavily
but has been externally EOLd and is a binary release so there's not much
the maintainer can do about it. We won't be releasing it into indigo.
