One thing that just clicked in the skull on why flat-tree has issues;
currently it's possible to have a package with the same name, yet a

The original request was having a package turn up in multiple
categories for searching, right?
Actually, that was a side effect. The original request was to stop
moving packages around, which is the most annoying part and is also the
