Packages are not arbitrary labels. "Packages" are. I said that
packages are "packages" (i.e., labels) plus other things.
What I was saying, in other words, is that you can assign a bug to any
arbitrary label, but that the label is not a real package unless the
package exists.

But still, you can search for the label "rmail" even if no package exists.
