I feel the same way.  

We offer our users a 4 year old copy of JabRef that builds from source,
transitively, all the way down, and so they have little choice but to go
install the "insecure" bundle from upstream.

I like the idea of focusing on a toolchain to make it easier to build
these packages.  We should be able to offer them via contrib [1].
