 But we're not planning to change that... Running a separate make per package
sounds like a terribly bad idea...

 So, is there any reason left to move USERS and PERMS to a file?

 It has one big disadvantage: it spreads out the package logic over different
files. We currently only have a separate file for the hashes, and that was
probably a bad idea to begin with (as witnessed by the many version bumps that
forget to update the hash file).
