Thanks. That explains it, and I can see why this would be useful in
particular in a situation where things get moved between various packages.

How hard would it be to have this governed by a preference to begin
with? I would like to find out whether a) this solves the problems Stef
was seeing (the way I understand it they should) and b) what effect it
would have if I just do a full update of Tweak using that mechanism
(e.g., try to find out if would break on any of the updates we've put
out so far).
Cheers,
