If the build was broken, and your change fixes it, the fix is worth
installing, so that others could build successfully.  We can always
improve the fix later, if needed.

IOW, installing a fix can never make things worse than they are when
the build is broken.

You can "bzr commit" specific files.  But the general rule for this is
add the file to .bzrignore.

You will always have my approval for committing something that fixes a
broken build.  I just don't want that it will always depend on me,
because I'm sometimes busy or unavailable.

Thanks.
