 I realize that SugarLabs NEEDS to use 0install to accomodate the various
 environments.  But I as an independent tester am in effect functioning as
 the distributor for my own "country".

 Back before 0install was merged into Tux-paint, I was able (via yum) to
 manually ADD missing packages (e.g., libpaper) to my system, if running
 Tux-paint depended upon a particular package being present.  It would be
 nice if, when 0install failed to get binaries from bazaar.sl.o, it would
 log (clearly) what was needed.  I (as the virtual "country distribution
 provider") could then be responsible for manually adding those binaries to
 my environment, and be able to run the Activity despite 0install itself
 not having access to something.
