Building two packages dependent on each other?

I maintain two package, OpenImageIO and OpenColorIO, which can optionally
depend on each other. During the review process I intentionally decided
that it was more important for OpenImageIO to depend on OpenColorIO as it
uses the latter for color management.

OpenColorIO is not a library, but a binary requirement. It can optionally
build two binaries that use OpenImageIO. Until now this has not been a
problem but now I have gotten a request to build the binaries.

This almost seems to be bootstrapping but I'm not quite sure I need to go
that far...

Since both are established packages, if one is updated, wouldn't the only
consequence be that once I build the updated package, I would need to also
rebuild the other package (after adding the former as a buildroot override).

Am I missing something, or is it that easy?

Thanks,
Richard
