AFAICT you are the only one interested by po4a-build; I could not find
any po4a-build usage except in po4a, emdebian and svn-buildpackage.

This is the other way: I want to make a po4a release, mostly because
of the new --porefs option (I may also work a bit about AsciiDoc
support).  I already lost several hours when preparing previous
releases and am getting fed up, this is why I want to get back.  You
had almost 3 years to add the features that were present before you
switched our build system to po4a-build (support for addenda and
general options), I do not see why I should wait any longer.
