This was exactly the reason I proposed this idea. We lose a days testing
of the kernel & installer far too often because of some inconseqential
dependancy breakage. "oh well, try tomorrow" gets old real fast
during times when we have different depfail every day.

I agree we shouldn't _have_ dependancy failures, but as we don't have
anything in place to prevent them, I think it's like asking for ponies
at this point.
