Allow merging two packages based on regular expressions of their name

One major point of Elpe is to allow the least expressive possible language to alter upstream packages from a distribution.

However, there are times where that is necessary: for example, rustc finds the path to stdlib is with a function calling dlinfo on itself: this returns the library in package libstd-rust (which rustc is dynamically linked against), whereas the one required is in libstd-rust-dev.

This is solved by copying everything from libstd-rust to libstd-rust-dev. However, since that can be quite costly in terms of space, we let the user specify custom packages on which it must be done.
