I agree. I looked over it some more, and it does help reveal deps 
nicely. Still for an ordinary user, I cannot see kpackage (as it is 
right now) fitting in particularly well with Fedora as a primary 
package managing tool...

Maybe hack it some more so it can use yum repositories, then it will 
be very usefull.

Oh oh, I see a pointless project waiting for me.
