Comment (by duncan):

 See also #198 about the behaviour of upgrade and install.

 Note also that the install error recovery is very simple minded. Currently
 if a package fails we continue to try to build the remaining packages and
 then report them as failures too. We should keep the package dep graph and
 remove packages that depended on the failing one rather than trying to
 build them anyway. So that means maintaining a dep graph while building,
 not just immediately flattening to a topological order.
