New submission from Alexis Metaireau <alexis at notmyidea.org>:

The "packaging.install" module doesn't have a clear API defined and it's doing a lot of indirections between all the functions to get metadata, fetch the dependencies and install what's need to be installed.

We might be able to come with a better solution for the API we expose there, and to allow easier maintenance. I'll go ahead this week and propose a change to this module which hopefully will make things clearer.
