So...genini should generate version/source lines for directories that 
contain only -src packages and no binary.

But, wouldn't that mean that setup[-x86|-x86_64||64] would still 
complain if there were a setup.hint "somewhere" in tree that required: 
the source-only package?  I think the answer is yes; so what's the 
solution there?  cgf's change to upset to make it complain about the 
situation, in a "Doctor, it hurts when I do this/Then don't do that" 
kind of way?
