Yeah, it does, indeed. OTOH, I think we should consider a good practice
putting only eggs into dependency-related forms in .meta files. Reason:
other tools also use information from .meta files (e.g.,
salmonella-html-report, egg-pack-sources) and usually they are concerned
with eggs only, but since .meta files allow core units to be in
dependency-related forms, tools always need to check if items in those
forms are eggs, units or chicken itself.
I don't see why we should have/allow core units in .meta's forms. Maybe
I'm overlooking something. If that's the case, please let me know.
Best wishes.
Mario
