 I checked and I still have the bugzilla e-mails in my mailbox unarchived.  
Which means I saw them and marked for later processing.  I must have lost

 In any case pinging does help, as it did this time (thanks, Andreas!).

 Except that they cover the usual system-installed use case and we run our 
test suite over uninstalled libraries.  Normally that does not matter, but 
here it does.  Unless I'm missing something that is, am I?
