Sorry, that was a little terse.

I think for build machines we've just been telling people to install a
particular metacluster, one that presumably provides all the things
that SUNWonbld depends on.  But in the new IPS world package
dependencies will be important.  

I would talk to the IPS team before spending much time on manually
adding dependencies--I believe they have some tools that they are
using to help determine dependencies.
