Dave, but aptitude contains a local index of all dependency information. 
Whereas, PyPI's infrastructure and pip/easy_install/p7g.install do not rely on 
one. Therefore, I think when Tarek said "Trying to do something smarter is very 
very hard and will probably fail." he is referring to doing such dependency 
resolution *with* the constraint of lack of such local metadata index.
