Ah, makes sense. Thanks.

Do you really expect a linked link big enough to cycle? I can't really see it 
going 3 deep. The cycle check is call cool though :)

Could you add a warning in setFallbackPackage() if it finds a cycle and no-ops. 
Could be confusing to debug otherwise.

Or call it m_packageWithFallback

I always get

const Type * 
and 
Type const *

confused.

This does make sense, it's the plasma::package thats const, not the pointer 
fastPackage
