pseudo-packages are just a name and a description; they are ~20
instead of several 1000s of packages (either source or binary, you
didn't specify). So they are quite different objects, and a different
table seems in need instead of adding a column in other tables jsut to
differentiate very few lines that will have none of the other
attributes.
