Yes, I think you're right, in principle.  But I'm not sure exactly what 
the UI should do.  If we simply update the displayed packages when the 
user selects 'Next', won't the user wonder what's going on?  Can you 
suggest a way to make it clear that we've updated the display to reflect 
added dependencies and that we're waiting for final confirmation?
