Yes, I got that you like the probable bug that caused genini to not list
these packages.

The fact that there are multiple packages with this issue isn't really
an advertisement for clarity.

"I'm looking for the source for gcc but the only thing I could find was
the source for gcc-java" isn't really very clear.  Nor is the sdesc for
gcc which says "GNU Compiler Collection".  That's just misleading.
