Thanks, Peter.  I pushed your patch.

I quickly run salmonella on the top 10 eggs in the reverse dependencies
rank and on a couple of eggs which are heavy on dependencies (chickadee
and awful-sql-de-lite).  Doesn't cause any breakage, as far as I can
tell.  Let's wait for the next full salmonella report (tomorrow) to see
what happens.

Best wishes.
