I don't like this solution.  There must be a better way.

I need to think about this issue (I'm currently considering: 
a mechanism to locally promote non-essential packages to essential,
with automatic promoting of depends to pre-depends, and a
strick concept of package order which won't unpack something
with unsatisfied dependencies unless they're part of a circle
which includes that package).
