Yes, that's what it does. I'd not be terribly keen on reverting to the old behaviour, which resulted in some cases in completely garbled results. There is a relatively simple speed-up that could be implemented: for a system with a number of packages installed the scan of the category Makefile is repeated when there are many packages in the same category. Keeping the results around so it doesn't need to be started from scratch each time would be an obvious win. If anyone feels like implementing that, we are always glad to receive pull requests.
