This is really a pretty different complaint, and I'm not sure it's
justified. The definition of critical path is perfectly clear. 'Weird'
packages being part of the critical path usually simply happens through
dependencies; some package that really *is* vital happens to depend on
your library.

(What I'd like to be able to do in this kind of case is have Bodhi
explain, hey, this package is critpath because $THIS_OTHER_PACKAGE
depends on it, and if $THIS_OTHER_PACKAGE is working okay, then this
package has fulfilled its critpath responsibilities, go ahead and +1
it).
