Oh, it wasn’t supposed to be private.  There are three kinds of
bioconductor packages: the normal ones, experiment packages, and
annotation packages.

The latter two cannot be updated the usual way, so they are excluded
from “bioconductor-package?”, but I thought that one may still want to
be able to distinguish between them.  It’s true, though, that there’s
nothing that can use “bioconductor-experiment-package?” yet, but it’s
possible to add an updater for just the experiment packages.  (They use
a different SVN repository.)
