If it really does save you time than I remove my objection. Can I just request that the sdesc of such packages say something informative and explicit about their purpose, e.g.: sdesc: "X.Org Xfixes library (dummy placeholder for source package)" I realize this string will never be seen by end-users but it does help to self-document the purpose behind the package's existance when one is troubleshooting setup by looking at setup.ini or whatnot.
