9 Well, if it's intended, then that's all I need to know... :)

15 I'm no expert by any stretch, I just noticed that it was acting different
16 and as illustrated, I could prove it. Perhaps I misunderstood what --deep
17 was for. I guess I thought it was the package and any dependencies that
18 NEEDED upgrade for the package to work. Now it feels like it just pulls in
19 the other dependencies just because that's what they are. Again, I could be
20 wrong. I just noticed more stuff being shown than usual, that's all.
