Yeah, handling cases like this where a somewhat 'obscure' library hits
critpath through deps is something I've been thinking about.
package-specific test cases would help, if someone would write them. :)
I think this gets to be critpath via the openssh and possibly ntp
requirements; it may help to know exactly what those apps _do_ with
libedit. But from a critpath perspective, this update is okay as long as
dependent critpath apps still work.

It would be nice if Bodhi could say 'this update is critical path
because of the following dependency chain:', but I don't know how
practical that is...
