okay this makes me angry.

This is a packaging bug. Simple, Nothing else.

Why are we fixing this packaging bug?


I can even see us emitting a message like:

doesn't. Please hit the packager with something heavy in bugzilla."

or does this fall into the "because we can we have to" category of things?
