OK, it seems nice that way. Except I don't see how it will work in the
worse use case.

Let the libsoup release we want for most packages be x (stable) , for
libA it is more like y (development) and for libB that uses libA - and
wants version z (git snapshot).

- From what I see, this combination will have a problem with libB using
libA linked against version y.
