It's on my TODO list for calm to perhaps have it discard binary packages 
which are 1/ empty and 2/ have no dependencies, to avoid this kind of

Historically, this has also caused problems where people have mistakenly 
specified this empty package as a dependency (e.g. written lapack where 
they should have written liblapack0)
