Yes, of course this is allowed.  The standard we expect packages in main
to uphold is that they are functional and useful without requiring any
software from outside of main.  The above construction completely
satisfies that standard. 

With respect to sequencing, my expectation is that all options in main
should be listed before any options that are not in main.
