That may not cover all of the cases.

If a dependency from mandriva did not get updated in the upgrade,
due to being required by a package missing from Mageia 1, and when
the Mageia 1 package is created, it requires a newer version of the
dependency, that is available in Core Release, that package will have
to be linked as well.

Ensuring we catch every case is going to be difficult.
