That is what I'd expect, but does NOT correspond to Mats Wichmann's conclusion:
"It seems like the wind is blowing in the direction of [an app
may have no dependencies at all, basically "depend on MeeGo" is
it, everything else is self contained], for all that it's easy
to envision very useful uses for the [repository-based model
where the installer resolves certain dependencies].
It went in the spec that way based on what people who worked
on this were told; hoping the discussion will make it clear
what the spec actually needs to forbid/allow in this area."
