Unfortunately, what it *seems* and what it *is* are two entirely different things, and the whole thing breaks down when post-dependent packages have dependencies themselves. If ASAP were specified, you'd be introducing a situation where the set of packages that can be relied upon by a particular package depends upon whether that package is being installed as a target or as a dependency of something else. Mandated ASAP simply isn't logically consistent. -- Ciaran McCreesh
