(Why such strong words?)  A class can only be defined in one package,
just as in Monticello, and this method simply associates its MC
equivalent to PackageInfo domain objects.  Why do you say a class can
belong to multiple packages -- because of extensions?

It's used by external utilities for automating the building of .sar
packages which should be included in the system.
