Err.. but its not staying valid.
The description of your "rrd/CSWrrdtool" package quite clearly says
that it is a "transitional package".
As such, it should be removed when nothing depends on it, right?
This seems to be a good reason to have its catalog name be called "rrd_stub" ?
Particularly since there is no catalog entry named "rrd" at the moment.
We dont want people doing "pkg-get install rrd" deliberately.
Naming it rrd_stub, avoids that, I think
(or if you prefer, rrd_transitional. I dont care in that reguard)

Hmm?
