Now how in the world do you pull a depend that needs to be merged AFTER
the original package?
i.e. Package ABC and Package XYZ... Package XYZ is a series of config
files and data for Package ABC. The files of XYZ need to be owned by
user abc which gets created by Package ABC. Those files also need to be
installed in /usr/share/abc, which gets created by Package ABC.
