There's a clear reason below. Whether you agree with the reason is a
separate issue.

That's true. However, the change I made fixed a bug for a sid user
where the all package was uninstallable because the dependant any
package was not built by the autobuilder because of some lengthy
delay.

With the change I made, now sid will always have the correct packages
at all times. Having that consistent working in sid is worth
something. Is it worth the same increase in size of the archive (these
packages are quite small)? For sid users (of which there are many),
I'd say the answer is yes.
