...it also handles the "autodep" and "incver_ifdep" stuff in setup.hint.
"autodep" (and "noautodep") seems to have a bug, though, as we discussed
a while back. It seems to miss adding some of the required dependencies.
"incver_ifdep" is still used in _update-info-dir unfortunately. It would
be nice to make this a perpetual postinstall script instead.
