Well that option you prefer will lead to quite some diskspace being used
if you have a system that's fine grained enough, as a single, small pkg
may be included in several other pkgs, or be required by them. Think

 - an xpm pkg
 - an fvwm pkg
 - an window managers pkg
 - a X core setup
 - a X user setup
 - probably an "all pkgs" pkg

Any of these pkgs will include a copy of the xpm pkg - do you really want
this? I doubt it. (not speaking of the fact of re-creating these pkgs when
xpm is updated.
