if someone actually posts patches or other constructive stuff, please CC
me. We're rewriting pacman anyway and looking for a solution to handle
this mess in particular.

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.
