I think there are other reasons we'd like to keep METALOG itself in
deterministic order too, even if pkg can take care of it -- for
example, issues like PR234886 can be triggered by ordering (even
though the root cause is elsewhere and TZ ordering isn't going to lead
to exactly that kind of issue).
