Nice point!  We can split change to one package into two commits:
1. Automated work (crates addition and deletion)
2. Manual work (crates modification, package definiton)

When submitting a patch series, 1 is for CI/QA purpose.  Committers are
responsible for recreating the change following documented workflow and only
apply 2.
