Some packages have circles, not sure why #33

This is more of a question that an issue. Not sure why I am seeing circles in the some packages.

Not able to upload an image here but here is some ascii art with an emoticon.

Sorry, for the late reply. It's an artifact of using graphviz and -cluster mode.

The circle signifies the "module package", where other things might be nested. Since graphviz doesn't allow to draw an arrow from a node to a group (at least easily), it's easier to insert a "pseudo circle" signifying the package.
