The latter, it happens from time to time. I see it here about once every |

@preserved-rebuild tries to remember everything that uses everything and |
| 21 |
detect changes, this will never be 100%, |
| 22 |
revdep-rebuild actively looks for brokenness and still sometimes gets it |
| 23 |
wrong (dynamic plugin modules anyone?) |

The specifics depend on the exact package. Maybe also file a bug so Zac |
| 26 |
can look it over just in case there in a useful tweak he can make |
