What does this mean for a package depending on a triggered package? Can that be properly configured before, or only after? Consider package foo depends on package bar, and package bar is triggered by a file installed by package foo. Does this work? Currently, the sequence would be: unpack foo bar configure bar configure foo How would this sequence be in future? Would that be considered an cyclic dependency, and broken at random?
