Hi,
After giving this some thought I belive it is doable but to get exactly
two breaks requires,
1 - CD splits occur on section boundries (extra, optional, etc)
2 - No package predepends on a package in a lower section
2a - No essential or immediate configure package depends on a package
in a lower section.
3 - All essential packages and their recursive dependants are on a
single CD and that CD is the first CD.
Also some extremely strong words about conflicts/conflicts loops should be
added to the policy, they are handled but the removed package is random
and may be essential. The algorithm detects and ABORTS on a predepends or
depends (with immediate configure) loop, these should be forbidden.
Predepends loops are already rendered unistallable by dpkg but immediate
configure depends loops are not.
