Indeed, included features are a way to solve the issue you describe.
However, the clean way to modify update-sites is to add the feature 
(even if it is not categorized) to the site.xml or category.xml 
directly. As Denis explained, including features is OK if you (as a 
project/component) are the only one building and shipping the included 
features.
