sure - patches welcome ;-)
But... that's not as easy as one would wish. Look
at /piupartslib/dependencyparser.py and at the Package and PackagesDB classes
from piupartslib/packagesdb.py...
Actually, I think it's really hard to change the code to cope as it's also far
from trivial to use another dependency parser, esp. for master-slave mode.
But still, while this is definitly a bug in piuparts, what do you think about
the topic in subject?

Why? A suite should be self contained. (Or, explicitly "support" other suites
like security supports main.)
