Yes, it's just that if we're moving these packages from being broken in a
non-default, administrator-configured configuration to being broken in the
out-of-the-box configuration, it might be worthwhile to know that ahead of
time, or know if there's a way to have them indicate that they now require
the non-default configuration.

I guess it's the equivalent of marking packages that don't work unless
SELinux is enabled, or don't work unless the firewall is off. There are
likely better ways to fix them.
