you don't want that. since parent will likely include older libs. eg. 
you build foopkg in parent against libblah-1.0, while in child 
libblah-2.0 exists. and foopkg from parent will - of course - then not 
work in child, because it was built against libblah-1.0, that is not 
available in child...

you know what i mean?

or let me describe it differently: you don't want packages build in 
parent tag to break you child tag...
