I'm passing on a request from one of our users (made in correspsondence
about a bug he reported).  He uses dselect, and tried to install some
things which are available as binaries, but they depend on other things
which are not available as binaries.  Is there any way we can add something
to dselect to communicate this fact to the user?  Or should we be drastic
and only distribute binaries when all of the dependencies are also
available as binaries?

Here's his comment:
