So you agree with me that this seems to depend on the order that we
compile the packages? If that is the case, how do we automatically
define the right order?

Than we should generate the man page from lazbuild -h. There is the
help2man helper function to do that.

So do I need to add each package that I compile to be available for the
others? Why not add them by default?
