No.  A packages' up-to-dateness only depends on its own build checksum;
ie, only if anything actually relevant for building in its .py build
script changes.

To force the rebuild of a package (tools::t1utils) without altering its 
build spec, you must remove it *and* remove the binary packages
(target/tools/packages/t1utils*).
