   Also, could check commits for the first line added in a hunk to package.mask for correct date. This may be a bit fiddly though.

   There's another consequence of a standardised package.mask format: we could enable mass-treecleaning of a whole block, although this is easy to script with the package names:

   grep -v "#" /tmp/list | xargs -L 1 -d "\n" xargs -0 bash -c 'git rm -rf ${0} ; pkgdev commit'

   I partially wrote pkgdev to provide an alternative to terrible one-liners. 😉

   I need to keep showing you horrors then! Feels like a corruption of pkgdev to use it in one.

   Rough draft added in 9ce008b, note that this requires some cleanup of the current file to be able to sanely handle automatically modifying it with the current entry "standard".
