I know it does not fix anything, but it fixes most of it (because
although there is a missing dep, if you install libstdc++/libgcc
manually or install a package made after the fix is applied things
still work.

Yes.
The grep above does not reveal these. There might be similar cases for
some of the other 32-5-1 = 26 distro's.
I just did not check.

Anyway the above just illustrates again that it is is probably quite
useful to clearly identify maintainers for all distro's and move the
unmaintained one to a separate folder or so, so people using those at
least are aware that they are using an unmaintained distro and as such
are kind-a "on their own"
