3). With a minimal buildroot (a subset of stage3, which was to get mock
working but wound up also making a bootable system - though stage3 is
fine too for simplicity as a set to built initially) set of packages
built, set that up as a new repo and have it favored in preference to
the external one for building the rest. Then a mass rebuild of packages
present in v5 and v7 from the external repos can begin.
