This is one case where IMO genini is better than upset: genini-generated
setup.ini's don't list source-only packages in setup's package selector,

subpackages.  Could upset be changed to match, which would avoid this
problem for *all* source-only packages?

Why not just rename the package "gcc-src" to make it clear what's going
on?

gcc is only one example; many packages (most being library-only) have a source-only "main" package. Not listing them while still allowing Src (as genini does) makes things very clear IMHO.
