Hi,

I had a short chat with Helmut about this and it is not obvious to us
why this is would be the correct behaviour.

 * Can you clarify why this should be done?

 * Can you clarify why the version constraint matters for adding :any?

 * A quick look at the patch suggests that the behaviour is
   "unconditional" and will also be added to packages containing XS
   modules etc.
   - However, your text above suggest this was unintended.

Thanks,
~Niels
