I looked more closely into this, and it seems like the easiest
solution is a --no-download flag for "install". It can be implemented
either by exiting with error if the install plan contains packages
that aren't already installed (forcing the user to run "install
--only-dependencies") or by somehow coaxing the constraint solver into
rejecting such packages (is this possible?).
