Almost - it does the dependencies just fine (and I checked before I
went out of my way to provide a definition that would placate both
sides) - but it doesn't do the package you're building.  Which may
well have been deleted, not preserved, after many hours of building on
an embedded platform.  Not the type of thing that I want to see happen
to anyone.
