We could do with making the manual recipes less manual.   That means 
changing the way recipe maintainers work.   Instead of specifying a 
precise file (or list of) for a recipe, they should specify a list of 
files and sources and those sources should contain the dependency 
required to build the cmg (an apt sources.list essentially, but could 
come from an rpm dump or be generated for arbirary files).   This way 
the recipe maintainer could hook into the dependency satisfaction rather 
then simply hand-crafting a list.   They can still hand craft a list 
though they could then include dependencies on any or all packages by 
supplying not just the url but what package it provides, replaces and 
depends upon.

It's kinda what I tried proposing to the lsb they should standardise, 
how to satisfy dependencies for a package from outside the package and 
lsb you can probably find a couple of mails on their mailing list :-D

What do people think of this idea?

Apart from the above, when you go on a klik hacking/testing spree like 
this why not pop into #klik to talk about it?   As it happens probono 
and I were in there discussing plashisms, mounting and unionising (along 
with multi-arch/platform concepts) and another voice/set of ideas are 
always nice :-P

Also between me and probono we might have tracked down what was 
happening with some of the things your describe very quickly ... I know 
it would take me alone a lot longer :-(

Keep it up,

Niall
