Yep, this should be ok.

I meant "no ldesc here too".  Anyway, one of the things on my lo-ong todo
list for setup is getting it to display the ldescs of packages as popup
hints or something.  This means that if packages don't have ldescs, it'll
pose a problem.  Unless someone (i.e. Rob?) steps in and declares that
packages with no ldesc should have ldesc=sdesc, in which case ldesc will
become optional...
