The issue is that it's a not particularly nice package manager feature |
| 13 |
that's only needed for two packages. In general in those situations the |
| 14 |
solution is to use some kind of workaround for the small number of |
| 15 |
affected packages rather than making things even more complicated than |
| 16 |
they already are. |
