I was not objecting to the conclusion but to the reasoning. I agree that it would be a "nice" thing to have some self-contained subsets like required+important. Just that every installation method (horizontal or not) should always take Dependencies into account. Of course by changing some priorities a little bit we can achieve to satisfy some dependencies more easily for some subsets of packages. I think libraries should not need priorities (or they need them much less than ordinary program packages). So if they have more or less priority, I really don't mind. Go ahead.
