I think part of (if not all of) the confusion is that it got the "right"
version -- ie, the older version from the preferred authority -- of the
package Ed specified on the commandline, but didn't have that behavior for
its dependencies.  I'm not sure whether that's deliberate in the coding,
but it's decidedly confusing, and therefore busted.

Regardless, you're right that the right answer for this particular
situation is fat packages.
