Oh!  I've been assuming that the delay between when a package is
uploaded to mentors.d.n and the time it appears under "My Packages"
was because mentors was building the package...  Either way, I won't
bother using mentors.d.n for future bpos of these packages.

Oh good, I wasn't sure about this :-)

My bad, it skipped my mind that intel-vaapi-driver only builds for
amd64 and i386!

Sounds good!
