I'm not sure we necessarily want AutoQA to be _driving_ processes like
this, do we? Properly, it should be _verifying_ that updates are
dependency-complete, not performing the task of making them
dependency-complete. Doesn't it work better to have the
dependencies-in-updates stuff handled at the level of the existing tools
by which developers work with updates - i.e. Bodhi? Has AutoQA really
been designed to the requirements of acting as a traffic cop for Bodhi?
