Indeed. So how reliable would it be to look for "crypto/elliptic"
and skip those? I fear that might accidentally exclude packages due
to transitive imports / Build-Depends or similar?

Or: should I just save effort and upload the lot?

(Ah, not just me then; I needed to hack the "sid|unstable" bit in
the code but didn't want to yak-shave that at the time!)
