If it really does save you time than I remove my objection. Can I just
request that the sdesc of such packages say something informative and
explicit about their purpose, e.g.:
sdesc: "X.Org Xfixes library (dummy placeholder for source package)"
I realize this string will never be seen by end-users but it does help
to self-document the purpose behind the package's existance when one is
troubleshooting setup by looking at setup.ini or whatnot.
