So...genini should generate version/source lines for directories that
contain only -src packages and no binary.
But, wouldn't that mean that setup[-x86|-x86_64||64] would still
complain if there were a setup.hint "somewhere" in tree that required:
the source-only package? I think the answer is yes; so what's the
solution there? cgf's change to upset to make it complain about the
situation, in a "Doctor, it hurts when I do this/Then don't do that"
kind of way?
