 This is admittedly a bit of an odd bug: The dependency list is
 simultaneously correct (the dependencies ought to be rebuilt as
 `+universal`) and incorrect (it does not reflect what will actually
 happen). Of course, the actual install behavior is incorrect and should be
 fixed, but the dependency list should not be making false promises.
