A good way to look at this issue is to study how Seth Vidal sovled the
issue in YUM, Fedora's updater. It is written in python, so easy for
BitBake developers to understand.
It seems that it would add a good deal of complexity to the current
design of bitbake.
Although useful this might be an idea for bitbake 2.0
