Yes, the ability to rebuild-from-source will be an important aspect for lots of distributions (in Debian/Ubuntu upstream precompiled binaries are generally stripped from the source packages); it also has an impact on dynamic conversion/compression stages (in which the Google Webfonts API is leading the way).

Could you possible collectively file and contribute a write-up detailing the examples/wording that are important from your perspectives:
