Please don't do this. Tracemode will shadow any files from packages not
explicitly listed as a dependency. Builds in tracemode will thus
fail/not recognize harfbuzz at all, even if it installed.

Also, as tracemode is supposed to become the default operation mode at
some later time: please, don't do this.
