It would be nice to fix this. Also I have noticed that it is easier to make
mistakes when inheritance is involved, but these tend to only break derived
packages. I am not aware of a facility to make it easier to build all
derived packages. Am I missing something? I guess this would be a useful
tool, but not sure about implementation.
