Actually, I think that's true. I removed those ONLY_FOR_PLATFORMS.
It does fail on installing the dependencies -- the only reason I can
think of they're there is nicer output in bulk builds (if a depending
package is broken, the package gets marked as broken too, while if it
finds an ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM that doesn't match, it's marked as 'not
packaged').

Bye,
