Note that quoting vs gexps matters for package inheritance, so even
though there's no ungexp'ing happening in this pacakge, the phases could
be ungexp'ed by a package that inherits from solaar.
For this reason, I think it's important to move to using gexp's for all
phases, even the trivial ones, so that there are less issues when it
comes to package inheritance and modifying phases.
