Humm, what I described is wanna-build's default ordering (cf.
sort_list_func and the definitions right on top of it) that is also used
by buildd when it checks the needs-build list. (Actually buildd first
sorts by out-of-date/uncompiled state, which for some reason I always
forget to mention.) Of course, the default ordering can be altered by
blacklists, whitelists, weak_no_auto, uncommitted changes, the cabal,
and a GR.
TINC,
Daniel.
