I had a link to a specific source revision in mind, because that's the only way
you can be sure no incompatible update will kill you, and that was one of the
discussions I've had.

So if a project like ruby was comitted to create a new package if incompatible
changes come (like rails-1, then rails-2), even in that case, the package
rebuilt as many times as there are links to it.

IMNSHO explicitely linking in these base packages is a work-around for the
point I'm trying to make:

How do we want to interconnect projects?

btw, for the time being we'll link in the missing packages.  have to ;)
