It is not guaranteed, but it can checked before. This is what we need to make 
easier for our Rudi's.

It is also not guaranteed that it breaks other packages, but this is what we

risky packages.

There is a bit in the wiki, but we work currently on automatization of this 
and integrating into osc for local builds. So it will become lots easier 
soon.
