I think the right thing to do is to stop having actual packages for
OBSOLETES and just emit the obsoltes: hint instead.
an overall cleaning of obsoletes package may be useful in the
near future. I need to work on it.
The mailing list is full of folks that seem to update their
installations only after several years, so while I'm all for removing
the empty packages, the obsolete hints need to stay.
I was referring only to the "empty packages" artificially created
of course.
