Right now the only idea i got is versioned deps which is sort of flawed since that would assert a certain awareness upstream. And if we had that, we didnt have the problem in the first place...
maybe there is a smarter way to force update of packages that would break when their dependencies are updated.

Since you rebuild all of the packages every time there's an update anyway, couldn't you just assume that everything will break and set all of the rebuilt packages to depend on the new version?
