Nod, branching right after a mass-rebuild with such a huge number of broken dependencies in the package set (many of which existed before, many more brought in by the mass-rebuild) is causing unnecessary pain. I've been trying to watch over any regressions from the new dependency generator bits, but with half the world broken it's pretty hopeless to spot any individual issues.
