b) after a package has been closed, its dependencies are checked to see if the needed packages are present on the server. If they're not, package is placed into incomplete state. When further packages are published, incomplete packages are rechecked to see if their dependencies have been completed.
Another interesting challenge here is that of circular dependencies. For example, SUNWcsl depends on SUNWzlib and SUNWzlib depends on SUNWcsl. In bug 773, it is mentioned that circular dependencies should be supported.
