Hmm, if we go this route, the following things will have to be
concatenated:
base.bw, base.bx, base.by -> base.bw
comp.bl, comp.bm -> comp.bl
man.ar, man.as -> man.ar
(BTW, what about the rest of the X11 sets, i.e. xfont, xserver, xcontrib
and xcomp? Why aren't they available as split sets?)

No need to do anything to the source sets. sysinst doesn't know about
those, and doesn't try to install them, so nothing knows about the number
of their components.
Ciao,
