You do not have to deal with it just yet, but FYI, another topic in
flight has a commit that adds a few more callers to a function this
topic renames away.  Namely, 5ee86c27 (repack: exclude cruft pack(s)
from the MIDX where possible, 2025-06-23).

If this topic needs to be rerolled after the other topic graduates
to 'master', we may need to see this topic rebased on a newer
'master' with something like the attached patch squashed in, but
because the other topic is at least a few more days away from
'next', and it might still need another final finishing touch
iteration, let's keep these two topics independent from each other a
bit longer, and let me deal with this trivial semantic conflict
resolution, at least for now.

Thanks.
