I don't like the 'laz_list' exception in pkghandler.pp. I don't want any
third-party-dependent code in fppkg. And binding on a specific name
isn't fine either. fppkg should be for general use, if you need
something special, use an add-in.
In this case it is probably also possible to come up with another
solution. (why is it for, anyway?)
