Well, I honestly was always in favor of this approach if possible
to automate and all... But I do have 2 big concerns here:

1. If we do this we will never ever remove the implicit dependency

2. there will be so many more failures on automagic stable backports.
We will need to scrutinize all the failures and track if the developers
are really following up on the backports. We are already bad at it btw.

Jani, you mentioned offline you were afraid of some implications on
xe if we don't do the sed, what would that be?

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
