No idea what the original purpose was, but <pkg> and <cat> are
specified in GLEP 56 [1]:
- Each <flag> XML tag allows 0 or more nested <pkg> XML tags whose
character data is a valid CP or CPV as defined by the Gentoo
Development Manual - Ebuild File Format [2].
- Each <flag> XML tag allows 0 or more nested <cat> XML tags whose
character data is a valid category.
So looks like a version is allowed, but not a slot.
CCing Cardoe. What was the original intention behind <pkg> and <cat>?
