I think in the event they're a form of conventional 

  foo
  foo-dev
  foo-dbg

etc, under the knowledge that those things can't possibly map to other
gentoo packages, we should codify only the first of those, and then have
it placed on the iteroperating code to make logical inferences from
that.

"foo-dev" in a search query would map to "foo" if no "foo-dev" existed.

But yeah, lots of complexity there.

That's why I'd just say those facets shouldn't really be mapped
explicitly.

The general pattern being:

 "If a debian id can be conjugated from another debian id by guessing
with a generic algorithm, only index the former"
