Answering myself...

I guess one potential problem could be where a build dep for an
application was later rebuilt and reinstalled by the user _after_ the
application software for which it is a dependency was installed.  Like
maybe for a library version bump.  The output above wouldn't know that,
and would build the application before the dependency.
