I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's orthogonal to what I was trying to ask.
I didn't mean to ask what final goal you wanted to achieve.  Of
*course* I'd love Conary to do a perfect job here.  The question is
concretely how could it implement perfection.  I was trying to ask
what specific cases does it get wrong now for which sufficient
information exists to make it more accurate.

Calling it a "script" doesn't magically make it do a better job
than Conary.  My point is that if you know what a script might
do, then you can know what Conary could do better; there is no
difference as far as I can tell.  If you have an understanding
of how I'm wrong, please explain in detail so that I am able
better to understand what you are saying.
