It looks like the .release-info file of orm causes henrietta-cache to
fetch the source code of all three eggs, including three .egg files.  I
_think_ (I haven't checked that in practice) chicken-install will
process all the three .egg files when requested to install orm and would
install the three eggs.  Is that expected?

Is there any special reason to put the code of all three eggs in the
same repository?  I don't think we have any other case like that.

All the best.
