Juust to clarify (to make sure I understood the problem):

pototo:
foo depends on libbar and libbaz
libbar doesn't depend on anything

woody:
foo depends on libbar
libbar depends on libbaz

The question being, if I install foo from woody, how can I be sure
that libbaz will be installed?

I thought the solution was obvious - change the shared library
dependancy information on libbar
