Thanks Greg! This one was my fault, as it was a set of 2 patches and
I only marked 2/2 for stable. But how is that best handled? 1/2 could've
been marked stable as well, but I don't think that would have prevented
2/2 applying fine and 1/2 failing and hence not getting queued up until
I would've done a backport.

What's the recommended way to describe the dependency that you only
want 2/2 applied when 1/2 is in as well?
