It would be of zero value to packagers anyway; certainly so for those
following the Red Hat tradition, in which you tell the package Makefile
to install everything and then what goes into which subpackage is
sorted out in a separate, subsequent step. Possibly Debian or other
packaging infrastructures do it differently, but I doubt that.
Really, if we want to tell packagers that foo is a client program and
bar is a server-side program, the documentation is where to address it.
