I still don't get this.. do you really think that having no updates is 
better than having all non broken updates? sorry but this does not make 
any sense to me...
lets say there is a security hole in httpd -> update released
there is a bugfix (non security update) for a game but with a broken dep 
(can happen...) -> this blocks the whole update process...
so its better in your opinion to let the system vunerable to attacks 
only because a unrelated package has a broken dep? even if package 2 was 
a security update too there is no reason to block 1 because this one has 
broken deps .. sure there is a problem when suchs things happen but why 
let our users systems with unpatched security holes even when the fix is 
released?
