Ah, it's even more convoluted than that...

I didn't see control-center-{dev,shlibs} b/c it's in stable *only*
(not unstable). Both sets of control-center*-{dev,shlibs} have the
same parent pkgname (control-center) (but different SplitOff pkgnames
obviously). That must have made it irresistably tempting to nuke the
older control-center.info, when upgrading to gnome2, which gave us
this self-inconsistent tree.
I'm reviving the .info for the older control-center pkg (as %f.info)
in 10.3/unstable.
