Sure, it makes sense to me as well. As I said in a previous mail, I
did fix my patch to include your remarks, but two:
1. Fix ejabberd build system to not download dependencies at build time.
2. Avoid to use a fix UID and GID for ejabberd user.

I don't know if I should republish the patch before fixing these two issues.
I'd like your help on both of them.

** Fix ejabberd build system
** ===================
The only solution i see is to create a buildroot package for every
ejabberd dependency, listed in rebar.config.script :
esip, goldrush, lager, p1_cache_tab, p1_iconv, p1_stringprep, p1_stun,
p1_tls, p1_utils, p1_xml, p1_yaml, p1_zlib, xmlrpc
Then, modify ejabberd package to not use rebar at all, or at least to
not call rebar get-deps. Thus, if I remove deps from the `all'
makefile rule and deps/.build from the `src' rule dependency, it might
work.

Do you have a better idea?

** Avoid to use a fix UID and GID for ejabberd user
** ===================================

I still don't know how I could set the correct permissions to ejabberd
files in <PKG>_PERMISSIONS if I set -1 for UID and GID in <PKG>_USERS
