Hmm... can't quite remember, sorry.

Clearly, the intention of my changes was to move towards a situation
where package-archive-contents indeed holds all the packages in the
archives. But some didn't quite make it (e.g. the ones that are on
hold, IIRC, and maybe the ones that are obsolete).
If you can show an actual problem that this causes (from the user's
point of view), we can try to fix it.
And in trunk feel free to try and change things so that those packages
are included in package-archive-contents. Such a change would be
welcome, in general (as would be a change that gets rid of the other
exceptions such as the packages that are "on-hold").
Stefan
