Yes, sounds better to tweak --with-package-format into that role than to 
stretch --enable-epm.

So, if there are no complaints coming, I'll change the meaning of 
--with-package-format so that only if --with-package-format=... is 
explicitly specified are installation sets (of the specified kinds) 
generated.
