Umm. Re-inventing the dependency code in dpkg/dselect?
I thought this was about user interfaces. Re-inventing the dependency code
seems to me a really extreme case of stupidity - and that's putting it
mildly.
No one seems to have pointed out any design flaws in that part of the
code. Prettying it up, doing some fixes, ok - reinventing it, what on
earth for?
