The thing is, it should NOT matter at all how upstream feels. If we treat
unbundling as something to do with upstream, we already failed. Unbundling
must be done whether upstream likes it or not, even in upstream's spite! And
it's the packager's job to do it: "upstream does not support it" is NOT a
valid excuse for not unbundling!
