The order of inclusion is unspecified, so the entries are
determined by the file that was loaded last, overwriting
previous entries.

I'm glad you were able to find out and to fix this issue!

I think there's a technical way to solve this. We just
have to insist on loading only the *.mk files of packages
which are mentioned index.html:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/rev/776c05c88f51

Thus, dangling *.mk files will be simply ignored, and have
no change to cause any confusion.
