Thank you, everyone involved in this! I'd been lamenting cygcheck-dep
not getting updated for the new dependency declaration methods, but
noticed these new options when I ran the installer yesterday, and was
very appreciative!

I am also very grateful for this, too – I'm a keyboard monkey and I
find the current package selection process somewhat tedious – but I'm
also wondering if there's a way to make it more obvious. I think a lot
of folk would benefit from this function who probably aren't reading
these announcements, including all the folk who sign up in future. I
can think of a couple of obvious options, namely adding instructions
in the grey areas above or below the chooser, or adding the shortcuts
in brackets in the package selection drop-downs, but fundamentally I'd
just like to have it suggested somewhere other than the mailing list
archives for future users.

Having probably just broken that rule, can you clarify what _is_ the
place for setup feature requests? Neither
https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html nor
https://cygwin.com/lists.html seemed to suggest a better option…
