 I'm not 100% against that, but given that it's only used for cakeys
atm. ... and almost nothing is using those, yet ... it seemed nicer to
just ignore it. And if we do that we'll need to add conflicts with other
packages.
 Also I'm pretty sure that repoclosure, repodiff and verifytree all need
to be fixed. Although that might argue more for "die quickly and
loudly".
