Hi Guillaume!

I don't think there is need to scan recursively: if package A depends on
B which depends on C, then A can lists the dependency on B in a file,
and B can do the same for C.  This way the relationship between A and C
is properly stored.

Am I missing something?

Indeed, and that's the core of the issue here I believe, since grafting
is what breaks Nyxt in practice.

Cheers!
