It currently expects to be pkglint clean.  I would like either things to 
be fixed, pkglint to be enhanced to be smarter in those situations, or 
have a way of marking certain sections as e.g. /* PKGLINTED */

Strong disagree, but we've been here a thousand times before.

At time of writing my original email it was severely broken with many 
thousands of packages missing due to untested changes.  I since fixed 
those myself, as nobody else was cleaning up after themselves (probably 
because they weren't reading pkgsrc-bulk!)

At time of writing this current email, it is severely broken with no 
bulk builds running at all due to untested py-scipy changes.  I am 
expecting to have to fix these myself too, as it's been 5 days now with 
no sign of anyone else doing it.

Done!
