Thanks for pointing tis out, and definitely. We attempt to do the same 
thing in relationship of the kss.demo and kss.core on the trunk and 
branches, too.

(Note kss.core itself does not depend on lxml or to any other package 
right now, but with megrok.kss this should be the right policy.)

The only thing I could not figure out, is that we also have to put the 
dependent package into version dependencies. However in this case 
kss.core==dev did not work well, I had to use kss.core>=dev as a 
"workaround". I hope you can figure this out correctly with the 
dependency between megrok.kss and lxml - or maybe between megrok.kss and 
kss.core as well, then I'd correct this in kss.demo as well.
