Anyway I think this should have the same reason as the fake packages in
aur; they give users a shortcut for achieving what they feel better.
Btw. I'm not sure if it's possible to add a directory instead of a file to
"NoExtract", OTOH after downloading the PKGBUILD a user who doesn't want
to install everything, easily could edit the package build, either before
running makepkg or e.g. continuing with yaourt.

PS: That reminds me that I still need to replace a long comment by a link
and that I again need to inform a maintainer about a mistake, regarding
the git version s/he should use. IOW we sometimes make mistakes, so there
might be already duplicated packages and/or empty packages provided by
AUR, but I guess this should not continue. However, perhaps I
misunderstand the guidelines.
