Agreed. In this specific case, I believe odroid-mali definitely works
for some situations, so there are certainly valid use cases for the
package as it is today, i.e it is not *completely* broken. But it
causes some build failures, which nobody has taken care of, and
upstream is unlikely to be responsive/

Full ACK.
