So, it turns out that the reason I didn't notice this
functionality is
that the error message given by gnome-packagekit was slightly
unintuitive: it did /not/ inform the user that the uninstallable
package has been deselected, and to continue installing.
Well, functionality like that would be welcome, but I'm tied up with
polishing all my software for F12, so I've not got an awful lot of
time for new code. If someone could take a look at this I would be
very willing to mentor/review any functionality.
