Again, I have no objections about licenses/comments/whatever. I want
actually merely to figure out, which manifest's fields are
*significant*. At this point, I can easily change this list without
insulting users. On the contrary, after 1.3 release that would be hard.
I suggest thus to stop bikescheding and switch to constructive
discussion and define how should we distinguish one package from
another. And no, we *cannot* rely on port version/revision/epoch only!
