Revisor just merges all comps.xml files, without regards to what is in 
the pacakage set or not.

The code to filter out anything that is not in the package set is either 
in anaconda (but I'm not sure if code to 'not show' missing packages is 
actually useful for writing out an efficient comps file), or hasn't been 
written (yet).

Any ideas though on how to filter 'missing' packages out of the comps 
file are very much welcome.

Kind regards,
