Note that it's still partial. It works 100% for the package you want to
install (e.g. if you say "smart install foo") but not yet always for the
packages smart installs to fulfill dependencies. I have to investigate
that further.
I'll try to discuss an optimal implementation with Gustavo Niemeyer, to
get it merged upstream.
