We can configure the probability for each given package to be selected
in randpackageconfig, and my autobuilder script itself make this value
a random value between (IIRC) 2 and 35%. So depending on the build,
each package has between 2% and 35% of chances of being selected. And I
certainly see builds with very few packages selected. So I'm also
surprised it wasn't found until now.
