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

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