 Please consider merging branch `builddepfix` of repo `https://git.spwhitton.name/propellor`
 
 Patches `Apt.buildDep` to check whether the build deps are installable, so that it no longer registers a change every spin.

+> Apt.buildDep now checks if the dpkg status file has changed, so [[done]]

+I had a thought about this;
+[[trivial is a code smell|type-level_trivial_avoidance]] and adding
+UncheckedProperty type avoids needing to use trivial.
+
+So, now cmdProperty, runApt, and other things that make a Property but
+can't really detect when it MadeChange can instead make an
+UncheckedProperty, and changesFile is one of the ways to convert that into
+a Property.
+
+My implementation also allows applying changesFile multiple times, to
+detect a change to multiple files.
