That's definitely not what we want. Only a package's DEPENDs have to be
installed and usable when that package is built. Its RDEPENDs don't
have to be installed until that package is treated as usable.

For why this matters:

cat/a-1: RDEPEND cat/b
cat/b-1: RDEPEND cat/a

This is solvable. If package managers can't solve this, they can't
install Gnome off a stage 3...
