You know how realistic it is to expect repositories to be always 100%
consistent
during development, in particular when throwing 3rd party repositories into the
mix...

That doesn't make much sense. It is the combination of installed package plus
available updates as a whole that is inconsistent. There usually is
not a  single
"package that doesn't depsolve".

Fair enough. packagekit won't be very useful as an update tool in rawhide then,
but I can live with that.

Would you consider a "install only this one package"
button ?
