The grafting mechanism has a shortcoming: it is not recursive.
Suppose we use ‘replace’ to provide a patch libpng. If a package has a
direct dependency on libpng, it is appropriately grafted to refer to the
new libpng. However, if a package depends on libfoo, which in turn
depends on libpng, then that package will keep referring to the old
libfoo, which refers to the old libpng.
