The Taskatron depcheck appears to be broken or incomplete: It might be 
effective at checking whether the new package has any broken dependencies, 
but it definitely does not appear to check whether the update breaks OTHER 
packages' dependencies (at least I've seen 2 instances where it didn't catch 
that, and this is the third). The old AutoQA got that right.
