I'll have a look; it's "fairly well" defined, in that it depends on
the seeds like the others; but I'll have to look at the specifics to
remember.

Yeah, we're not changing that. mozilla will keep working normally.

It might well be. I thought I had added an exception because I noticed
some of these obviously desktop packages were ending up in the wrong
packageset. I think the net effect is that right now they must have
ended up in 'desktop-core', and I had figured it was sufficient (based
on other packages that also end up there). I can rearrange them.
