What you say makes perfect sense.  The specific package I was referring to was
coreutils.  Unfortunately, the quoting containing the relevant thread details
had to be trimmed because of the limit on quoting when posting through gmane,
which was the case in some of my posts.  Don't get me wrong, gmane is great,
it's just a circumstance that needs to be pointed out as a factor contributing
to this confusion.
