Works fine installing from the mirrors [1] or from local repo, with the 
following patch to genini [2]:

2013-07-16  Charles Wilson  <...>

    * genini: Accept 'Debug' category. Add support for
    --release and --arch commandline options, and emit
    the appropriate entries (default release='cygwin',
    default arch='x86').

[1] With the already-reported issue regarding empty/src-only packages.

[2] This patch does not address the recently-reported issue with genini 
that (might be?) related to the above empty/src-only thing:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2013-07/msg00207.html

OK to commit this patch (I think I have write access to the genini 
module in the cygwin-apps repo)?
