New profiles created with Nightly 2015-09-29 (build id 20150929030225, rev acdb22976ff86539dc10413c5f366e1fb429a680) do not offer DuckDuckGo as a search option.

My existing profile lost DuckDuckGo and forced me back to Yahoo, despite DDG being the only engine I had installed / configured at the time of the update.
Nightly builds from 2015-09-28 (build id 20150928030206, rev 6256ec9113c115141aab089c45ee69438884b680) do offer DDG as a search option, so it looks like a regression somewhere between 6256ec9113c115141aab089c45ee69438884b680 and acdb22976ff86539dc10413c5f366e1fb429a680

FWIW, inspecting list.txt from chrome://browser/locale/searchplugins/ (because https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/f1769f48b3c0)
there is "ddg" on Build ID:20150928030206, no "ddg" in Build ID:20150929030225.
there's a bunch of changes from glandium there, he may tell us more

We probably would not have problems specific to DuckDuckGo if we had fixed bug 1105092. Maybe that's what we should do.

I'm not convinced bug 1105092 is a great choice, unless we're willing to accept the chance to lose DDG for a few locales.

The fix needs to land in 100 repositories. I can do that, it might take a bit of time. But that doesn't ensure that it's going to ship if the locale is not keeping the localization up to date.
sigh

Limit using source searchplugin files directly to `mach build faster` until bug 1105092 is fixed

I hate packaging operations that the mozilla-central build system and try automation has little insight into :/
