So, AIUI (and others did too), the autobuilder would be upgraded to
PR1.2's SDK and start publishing to "fremantle-1.2" (rather than the
current "fremantle").

However, yesterday on IRC, there were some complaints that the
auto-generated components for things in "fremantle" extras-devel had
incorrect dependencies:

    http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2010-03-29.log.html#t2010-03-29T08:01:18

(see conversation primarily between Jaffa, Stskeeps, DocScrutinizer
and Chiku|dc)

I thought the fremantle extras-devel should now be fixed, so how are
things with incorrect dependencies getting in? Niels, could it'd've
been a race condition during the switch; or is it a bug; or are we
corrupting fremantle extras-devel?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
