Still unresolved.  Someone once mentioned the possibility to put *all*
packages in comps, by providing a group of packages that should not be
presented to the user...  Dunno how that would fare.

There are also mumblings of putting comps related info in the upcoming
package database, but we haven't looked deeply into the implications
