I have the same problem with advi also.

What package are they with ?

One solution would be to provide them in a cameleon-common or soemthing
such, and still keep the nativecode/bytecode split.

Another solution would be to do as i plan to do for advi, that is modify
the policy so that such packages can be done in native code and in
custom built bytecode. (or not custom built bytecode, but in the advi
case at least i didn't easily manage to make them non-custom built).

Or modify the policy to accomodate them ? :)))
