I think officially, we don't "support" anything but all-or-nothing
upgrades in *all* branches. That is, if you cherry-pick an update from
updates (or even updates-testing) and it also needs some other package
to be upgraded even when that's not made clear from the deps, our
stance is "oh, upgrade everything and then it will work".

It might be nice to be more granular, but I think that describes the
praxis.
