But then we lost one checking if all packages are correct available -- if
a package generates more then one binary-package.
In life, we sort unwanted things out and doesn't ignore the things.
If i see it right, all binaries for libc5 have the [libc5] term in
the description -- greping it and remove the entry from the control
