Ah, I've been reading too fast again. Yes, all packages in a dependency-cha=
in=20
will have to be built to match. It would be possible to make the pkg_* tool=
s=20
smarter in order to avoid that, but at the moment quite everything (from=20
pkg_* to the package cluster scripts) relies on prerecorded (or=20
pre-generated, i.e. INDEX) sub-deps.
