Well, this really only runs once every couple of months on borka and
here or there for those building their own snapshot tarballs. I don't
think we need to cater to a wide audience here. In fact, variety could
be bad here: We don't want to find out that a tarball was rolled with
the wrong variant.

The pandoc change can be revisited independently. The main point right
now is to get away from the DSSSL toolchain.
