Why is a real file that exists on the filesystem a phony target?

It's a bit crazy the complexity that we have just to allow our manual
to have the list of all packages in Buildroot. I'm not even sure this
section of the manual is that useful, to be honest. But oh well, that's
supported today, so we have to continue support it.
