Yes, unless you want the package to go to "Misc", which is wrong. But I
don't see any reason to hide anything. Just sdesc it as "Sources for
BLAH". It won't be installed unless the user specifically chooses it.
Incidentally, I set up a scratch area:
/sourceware/snapshot-tmp/cgf/yselkowitz
You can make a copy of the release area there if you want to experiment
with dependencies and genini. You'll have to make a temporary copy of
genini in your home directory though first.
And, that reminds me, for anyone who is following this thread: Please
don't use your home directory on sourceware as a holding place for
files. The home partition isn't that large and sourceware isn't
supposed to be used for permanent storage.
