I don't think that conflicts with what I'm saying — if in that
secenario (package A requires new versions of B and C), if the new
version of B has a change but didn't change soname, and someone updates
_just_ package A on their system, not the whole update, oops. We
*expect* them to take the whole update.
Sure - but you talked about cherry-picking "an update", not "a
package". Cherry picking *packages* from updates-testing is not
required to work (or fail 'correctly' due to a dependency), no, but
cherry-picking *updates* more or less _is_ supposed to work.
If by 'update' you meant 'package' then we're not disagreeing.
