+1
ok with it, but don't really favour it. I see a benefit though spreading 
the news on new packages

-1 for the already given reasons

If wanting to avoid the permission solution a not so elegant solution, 
but possibly effective one could be to split the configuration again 
across multiple files (one per flavor), something like:
libs-master.autobuild
libs-next.autobuild
libs-stable.autobuild
Would create some redundancies though.
