I am not sure I agree here. The fact that several of us have such patches, and that they would indeed be useful to produce build time statistics, or help the autobuilders provide better diagnostics could be useful. I believe that it's the real strength of the common package infrastructure: we can add such additional features on all packages at once, very easily. Of course, it should be implemented in a nice and clean way that doesn't complexity too much the core package infrastructure, but it's very likely easy to achieve with some hooks.
