Isn't this what has consistently gotten us into trouble?  Why not force
an update of a package if a package that depends on it is being upgraded?
This seems more intuitive to me.

Also, if we have no way to install all packages, then I think this new
release should be delayed.  We've been promising this for months.

If all that we need, however, is for upset to add things to a "Full"
category, which can be selected, I can do that.
