Add a new "meta" qualifier for expressing dependencies that are not concrete install- or run-time dependencies, and thus should not take part in install ordering.
There are quite a lot of such dependencies in the wild, for example versioned sub-package cross-dependencies are typically of this type and a common source of unnecessary dependency loops. Another common case are dependencies of meta-packages.
