 I don't think this makes much sense. The problem is that this detects
 only a subset of the issues found e.g. with actually running
 pbulk-scan/pbulk-resolve. So this check is *less* strict then the checks
 done during bulk builds and unresolvable dependencies are currently
 considered fatal errors for pbulk.
