I mean: you catch the dep-* and refeed it to the same handler for adding a repo (yes, sure, some checks required for not having it in an endless loop)

It SHALL only install packages availeble in active repositories. But that's wht it would be a good choice to have a 2nd repository being added automaticall under certain circumstances.
