+Subject: Remove comps groups from purely modular variants
+
+
+The comps source should not return all groups when there are only
+modules defined. This fixes part of the problem: non-modular packages
+will not go in by default.
+
+The second part is the comps file in the created repository. It will be
+filtered to not contain any groups (because packages from there will not
+be in the repo).
