Well, since this is NetBSD-current we're talking about, and not a fixed
release version, I'd say the correct procedure is to fix NetBSD if that's
where the problem is. We should still be able to get the fix in by release
date if someone does a send-pr with a real fix/patch to the NetBSD
portmaster. A footnote in the PG release notes about needing -current
post-<some-date> for the '532 might be appropriate.
Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
