We'll need documentation to say which package provides a given library.

I don't anticipate documentation for a package that says which other
packages it depends on, because that seems like an implementation
detail of the package. Similarly, the documentation for a library does
not specify what other libraries it imports --- only the bindings that
the library provides.

I think the new system is as ready as it's going to get without further
feedback, and my guess is that the problem hasn't been fixed. Can you
check with the latest?

Thanks!
