The following two patches add the possibility to install hidden packages.
The first one adds functionality to convert between StanzaFields of different
types and uses that to simplify the parsing and pretty printing code for
package descriptions. The patch should not change the behaviour in any way.
The second patch is quite simple and just adds a flag. It would be much more
involved without the first patch.
What do you think?
regards,
Bertram
