Well, being too smart about binary packages after supporting source packages
also could give similar results. Gentoo's emerge used heuristics and heavy
magic when used with tbz2s, and that failed every now and then.
From package managers I like most how aptitude allows to browse resolutions
and allows to choose one and modify it, but this is very far from being
trivial to implement.
