The StrategoFront package contains the SDF syntax definition of Stratego, the signatures and pretty-print tables generated from that syntax definition and additional code for desugaring and meta-exploding Stratego abstract syntax trees. The parse and pretty-print tables are needed by other packages for building signatures. The signature generation in StrategoFront has a circular dependency with the stratego-tools package.

This can be solved by splitting the package into a package with only the syntax and pretty-print tables.

This seems to be an instance of the 'bootstrapped packages containing generated sources^?' problem.
