sync_addtarget had some sort of Ignore support before, but I didn't find it
consistent :

So I removed it in 8f824e70b. But clearly, I didn't take the group case in
consideration.
I dislike that we can't make the distinction between a group and a simple
target here, but well.. Probably just having sync_addtarget always ignore the
packages would be easier, like in what you are suggesting.
