Comment (by duncan):

 The new install plan stuff guarantees that the above situation does not
 happen. There are never any inconsistent deps in a valid install plan. The
 new dep resolver will choose either to build C against A-1.0 or to rebuild
 B-1.0 to use A-2.0.

 So it's less clear that we need this feature. That's not to say it's never
 needed, just that it's not the common case any more.
