Understood.  It was really a worm on a hook, but you've seen the hook.
:-)

If I had the time to do this myself, I'd post my suggestion, including
why I intended to make the change, to the -arch mailing list and just
forget about it if I got significant resistance.

Anyway, I wouldn't try to tackle anything like this until someone's
tackled problem of making it easier for default packages to be installed
by sysinstall.  Someone's going to have to do it for perl5 anyway, and
hopefully it'll be done in a pretty reusable fashion.

So maybe just shelve the idea until the perl5 package installation is
done, then bring the idea out in public once people are satisfied that
making packages of things that are hard to maintain in src is a workable
approach.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
