Description
Currently there is no transitive dependency resolution of the packages that you provide to the `dpkg_status` rule. This causes `apt` to complain about missing dependencies and thinking that the install is broken. It might be possible to work around with a custom rule to resolve transitive deps of the top level packages you want to have installed before passing to `dpkg_status`, but it feels like this should be default behavior.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the `dpkg_status` rule and how it handles the packages supplied to it. Determine how transitive dependencies should be resolved before installation, then verify that `apt` no longer reports missing dependencies or a broken install for packages with dependencies.
