that it's not just a modification to that file, because you wrote the

From my original mail:

The current proposal is to reduce the main Packages.xz files size by
splitting[4] out all of the packages that are not intended for users,
writing those into an own file.

The *exact* implementation is currently fluid, a Packages-buildlibs.xz
and a kind of subcomponent-style for main both seem options.
