Again, I'm not so sure that this doesn't represent multiple separable |
| 7 |
concepts. It seems to imply: |

|
| 9 |
* that the install cost is effectively zero |
| 10 |
* that the resolution cost is effectively zero |
| 11 |
* that the package does not install any files |
| 12 |
* that the package does not use any of the (normal?) ebuild phases, and |
| 13 |
so does not require exclusive pkg_* execution or pkg_* system state |
| 14 |
preservation. |
