So, what about publishing the dependency to /contrib in the meantime 
until we get to the /release which has it.

When we get to a /release with the package, we could publish a new 
version of the /contrib package that is empty, but depends on the 
/release version?

Will this work?

Then, if someone wants/needs to bump to a newer version, we can build a 
new package for /contrib which does not permit the installation of the 
/release package. I don't know what you call this.
