I don't know if creating a separate file is needed. Maybe just a need
field in the CSV that says if it's a host package only, target package
only, or both. But that's a minor detail, I don't have a strong opinion
between a single CSV file, and two CSV files, as long as it is possible
to identify what is on the target and what isn't.

Best regards,

Thomas
