BUT one should have the dependencies (and eventually build dependencies) in
there ANYWAY.

People often do partial upgrades, so keep the dependencies there. And the
buildds often screwup transitions if you don't clamp it in build
dependencies, so if it affects the build, clamp it with versioned build
dependencies and conflicts.
