​Packages with size -1 should not be displayed​ at all in table pages !
They are in the database to provide targets for dependency links. In other words: - When toaster gets the list of packages, all valid entries in the database are created. - When it gets the dependency list, it may happen that dependency targets are not the package list. This may happen for any number of reasons, for example conflicts with a package that was not built in the current built, but it signals the installer to not install both packages at the same time. - Because we need package entries in the database, we create virtual packages with size -1. Packages with size -1 should not be displayed in package tables, but they should be displayed in dependency information in package details.
