indeed pushing all the requirements to level 0 is a way to solve the dependency 
problem myself. Without knowledge that a problem existed I didn't do this first 
time around so unless I check all the dependencies for the installed packages I 
won't know if another one should be pushed to level 0. With a warning I am at 
least alerted to the issue, without one I depend on bugs happening and then need 
to figure out the problems myself.
