There has been some talk of splitting the standard distribution in pkg's.

I'd prefer if the existing medium-sized standard distribution remained as
one entity. It is really nice having a known base system.

However, there might be some value in creating a "dummy" pkg for all
the system-supplied files. The reverse-mapping you (Hubert) have
been talking about could be used to say 'this is a system file' and
we would get MD5 checking "for free".
