I agree with Iwan. I find this of high importance considering Jaunty will be released in a week and system updates requiring package additions and removals fail and are blocked. I have been able to apply the updates using synaptic, but that isn't installed to a system by default, KPackageKit is. When users click on the updates icon they are not going to be expecting to have their package manager block valid updates. Even if the install process isn't perfect on release, the update process at least should be or most users would consider this a downgrade (even from adept 3, at least it could update, if that's all it did right).
On the flip side, thank you for working so hard to make a great package management system. It looks extremely promising!
