Infra needs this; upstream was AWOL for a long time, but I see they have
released 0.48/0.49 that contain much needed fixes.

I'll verify 0.49's behavior (0.47 was broken for Infra's use case).

Then Infra needs to start using their commits access to actively
maintain their packages rather than ignoring them until they are last-
rited once again because of months of complete negligence. Or move them
to their overlay where that can rot peacefully without bothering others.
