Right, but in principle I could do something different, couldn't I?  I
could take some subset of the .conf files in package.db, put them in a
directory called /tmp/mynewpackagedatabase, and *that* would be a
perfectly valid package database (as long as the files it points to
still exist), wouldn't it?
