To fix this problem we need a dependency checker that works with the whole installed tree, and validates it. We currently don't have such a checker and the current checker cannot be adapted to do that either. The problem is that it is very hard to make a checker to do forward and backward dependency checking and still being efficient. We are working on this, and it is certainly high on our list of desired features, but currently there is not much to fix this.
