This would be exceptionally awesome. =)

If this were to work through upgrades, though, it would be nice if urpmi
would remember what packages had been urpmb, so they they would also be
recompiled on an upgrade.

For instance, if A depends on B, which depends on C, and I just urpmb B,
if later versions of A B and C all are new, and get selected from an urpmi
--auto-select (or maybe this behavior would only happen with urpmb
--auto-select, I don't know) it would install C, build+install B, then
install A.

I've been doing this kind of thing a lot by hand. It would be awesome if
it was supported by urpmi tools.
