No nodeps doesn't ignore the fact a package is masked allowing a merge
of a package that is masked.  Many masked packages will install and
correctly especially when you are talking about whats masked out for
alpha.  a force option would allow users to easily test the masked out
packages for themselves (without changing there package.mask file) and
they in return could give you reports.
