That file is just trying to be helpful by providing an easy way to set

The project doesn't seem to be doing anything special; we just need to
make sure that those dependencies are created as packages first, since
the build system maps asd systems to packages one to one.  The slynk
package may be a helpful resource for seeing how to do that.

Hoping that helps,
