Yep. I think we can get there, but just we aren't there yet. ;) 

We need to: 

- Add messages to the broken deps report. (should be trivial). 

- Setup a process to look for these and do the bump/rebuild. It would
  need some smarts to make sure that it didn't do this every single day
  when it fails, etc. Possibly it could check for it's changelog and if
  it was the last thing to try building it, bypass. 

- Ideally it would have some way to do a scratch build first and see if
  the deps were fixed, but checking broken deps is not at all easy, so
  that might be too much gravy. 

I think we can get there. ;)
