Hi.
I suspect, it's a minor issue in oi-userland. For generated packages it 
seems to republish just part of them. So, when build number changes we 
receive such inconsistency.

I mean the following scenario for some perl "module" component:
1) generate manifests for library/perl-5/module, 
library/perl-5/module-516, publish them
2) common build number is incremented (2014.1.2 => 2014.1.3 ), but there 
are no changes to module component
3) on the next run only library/perl-5/module is republished, as build 
number has changed it got incorrect dependency.
