Except that the user shouldn't have to care about it then either. The
user need only care when a package requires manually downloaded files.
In particular, if the files are already fetched, then the value of
RESTRICT is irrelevant to the end user.

Control over packages requiring manual intervention is good (packages
not requiring intervention is, of course, an awful lot better). This
proposal doesn't seem to be a very good way of getting it, however.
