That's a QA problem

But really, the problem is not the comps format, it's that any kind of
classification activity is both tedious and optional (if you know how to
classify a package you do not need the classification in the first
place), rots fast in presence of high package churn, and can only work
long term with lots of janitorial involvement (both human and
automated).
