I wonder if a partially specified set of individual package settings
should be identified by some sanity check (an explicit, rather than
implicit, one, like recipe_sanity) as a potential bug / source of
confusion. I suspect most of the time it should be one or the other,
either no individual package LICENSEs are defined, or they all should
be.
