[Buildbot-devel] Using blamelist

[Alexander Lorenz]

if you look at the chain backwards, c can only be successfully built if 
b is successfully built, and b only if a.

so make one 'Dependent' scheduler for b, but a named instance, not an 
anonymous one, so you can use it's name in another Dependent scheduler 
for c, depending on b.
