Autoplist are harmful! and should be avoided as much as possible, I know py=
thon
and ruby has it but I m really not happy about that

autoplist is dangerous because we have no way to control that what is packa=

what the maintainer expect to be packaged! therefore we often end up with
unoticed problems
