I am not sure I agree here. The fact that several of us have such
patches, and that they would indeed be useful to produce build time
statistics, or help the autobuilders provide better diagnostics could
be useful. I believe that it's the real strength of the common package
infrastructure: we can add such additional features on all packages at
once, very easily. Of course, it should be implemented in a nice and
clean way that doesn't complexity too much the core package
infrastructure, but it's very likely easy to achieve with some hooks.

Best regards,

Thomas
