Comment(by karsten):

 Oh, I see.  I agree that dir-spec may need an update.  The "dir-source
 *-legacy" line should be considered a special kind of authority section,
 because these lines are not part of the non-legacy groups of the
 respective authorities.  And then the "exactly once" parts don't apply
 anymore.  I guess 3.3 needs to be changed for this, whereas 3.5 can
 (mostly) stay the same.  Here's a quick suggestion, feel free to polish.
