Case 1 does detect undeclared dependencies before authors check in their eggs. This has helped me in the past as I am known for missing those. This could be done with a fresh chicken install of course provided that the egg author does have a source checkout available. I don't know if all our users do that. One could simulate this with linking into a fresh dir but in the case of a binary installation we would check how package maintainers package it to find all necessary files. Maybe this could be solved with all the "introspection" we currently have.
