Okay, as I figured.  In the future, "entire" (or whatever it'll be called)
will be managed by the distro maintainer (RE?), and will probably need to
have some mechanism for including packages that are part of multiple
consolidations, which is most of what's going on here.  Forcing a
consolidation tag onto a package in that case seems like a shoehorn
solution to me.

That said, all this will change again in the future, so if it makes life
significantly easier now, go ahead.

The change itself looks fine, FWIW.  The slim and babel clusters might
belong to the install consolidation instead, but it doesn't really matter
much, IMHO.
