Ah, I overlooked this!  So the simpler bin/buildslave script does no
dependency-checking, and "just works", even though that dependency is
not fulfilled.

I'm happy to fix this - as Gareth said, I committed a fix to always
use the "simple" (no-dependency) scripts - but I'm not convinced that
we need to ship 0.8.2p1 with this fix.  Is anyone else seeing major
pain from this problem?  By the way, there's more discussion here:
