Well, technically it's perfectly okay to have a package that's only installable
after the OS installation, not all packages live in repositories and get
installed as a part of system installation. We also do handle this correctly
for almost a decade - such a package fails cleanly pre-transaction dependency
check if part of initial install but succeeds in a later transaction (commit
c0eb82dd1f2102f2b4899c1e7232086c41d2e805).
In addition, many depsolvers do multiple smaller transactions instead of one
big mutha and this is not an issue for them. /me thinks it'd be wrong to
reject, but a warning might be in order.
