Packages changed. Exactly, changed list of @pkgdep to new revisions,
and if I try install not repacked package to a clean machine from prepared package 
repository, it will pick up OLD dependency rather than new, cause contains old 
dependencies list.

So recursive package update should be expanded as "rebuild depended packages, which 
upgraded too, AND repack all rest depended tree" to get ${PACKAGES}/All repository in 
consistency.
