That's a bit of an exaggeration. It's not that we don't care, it's that
it doesn't matter unless you're doing something *else* really dumb at

No need to yawn. :) It has happened before that a package from Core was
moved to Extras or vice versa, and then you get the "switching" in updates
unless the different packagers agree on a common way.
