I have seen the "EXPLICIT_PACKAGE_DEPENDS=true" knob mentioned in
several posts. I have three questions in its regards.

1) Exactly what does it do? I cannot seem to locate a definitive answer.

2) If this is a "good thing" then why is it not a default setting?

3) What benefits could I expect to see from using this setting?
