top-level/packages-info: add pname fallback

wolfgangwalther · wolfgangwalther · commit e19bb692c26c · 2026-01-15T11:16:06.000+01:00
A recent change broke the repology updater, because it relies on pname
and version fields. We can fallback to *some* values temporarily, but
the right fix is to make sure pname is available on all packages in
Nixpkgs. That effort is ongoing, once it is complete, we should remove
the fallbacks.
