be ignored.
I'm just not sure how to handle that. AFAICS REQUIRES shouldn't
override autogeneration; there are plenty of cases where it will be
correct but incomplete and we just need to add. Of course, you could
just continue using a pkg_name.hint for just that subpackage, but that
defeats the purpose. I'm open to ideas here.
How about something like [PKG_]REQUIRE_EXCLUDES for packages that we
don't want to require?
Yaakov,
Any further thoughts about this?
