That list looks fine to me.

track in the bug so it's good to have all the info in one place. Also, I put a comment in the bug asking for opinions about exactly how all the dependencies should be listed. There should probably be an additional

The current method (listing them on top of a package's installation page) could be maintained and no changes would be required from a layout perspective.

page describing how the build order came about, and listing all dependencies that depend on a specific order. I don't know what that listing should look like though. Anyone have any thoughts on this? One possibility would be a table...

Column 1 (Package) Column 2 (depends on) Column 3 (reason)

I believe that will work nicely. A page describing the build order can be added to the beginning of chapter 6 before the first package installation. A logical place would be right after the "Package Management" section.

Alternatively, the end of Chapter 4 would be a good place as well.
