The Taskatron depcheck appears to be broken or incomplete: It might be
effective at checking whether the new package has any broken dependencies,
but it definitely does not appear to check whether the update breaks OTHER
packages' dependencies (at least I've seen 2 instances where it didn't catch
that, and this is the third). The old AutoQA got that right.

I'm sort-of volunteered to write the approach I suggested in a comment
as a new test, but it's going to have to wait until at least post-f21.
