Creating a specific workflow (a new buildsystem queue, a new entry in 
package manager configuration, etc...) for a category of packages with a 
unique candidate is not precisely something I'd call 'optimal'. Unless 
in term of complexity.

Morevoer, unless someone volonteers to actually implement it in our 
buildsystem, that's a purely hypothetical solution.
