Ok.
If I was to vote today, I would vote 12543. Implementing another field
to keep in sync seems like a lot of additional work for little gain
(3), and making a slew of packages insta-buggy (4) is not something we
should do. (2) is a nice hack, but it depends too much on undocumented
make behavior.
My primary concern is that there is some kind of systematic problem
with #1 and #2 that we haven't yet considered that affects some
packages. Yet, if we do run into such a problem we can revisit this
discussion.
