The best thing would be to add fileins automatically to either <file> or
<built-file> using something like
<filein dist="yes|no">
The extra verbosity would greatly reduce the benefit of implying
anything versus just specifying <built-file> explicitly, e.g.:
Sorry. I was not clear. In my proposal there would be four possibilities:
<filein>foo</filein>
<filein dist="no">foo</filein>
<file>foo</file>
<built-file>foo</file>
where the first two imply <file> and <built-file> respectively.
Furthermore, the first one would be equivalent to
<filein dist="yes">foo</filein>
In addition, this flag would close off other types of packaged files. I
am not sure what those would be, but dare not limit the domain to that
of my imagination at this late hour. :)
That is fixed by choosing a different attribute (e.g. type="built" vs.
type="dist").
Note that I'm not against <filein> implying <file> by default, also
because every <filein> must be in practice a <file> or a <built-file>.
I'm against the way you specify that this default should be overridden.
