+Sadly, smart is not deterministic so the same build can go down multiple different
+pathways. We'd expect to see the same warnings however depending on the pathway
+taken, it may or may not warn, particularly with Recommends since they're optional.
+
+For example, where a Recommended package is available but has Conflicts, we'd expect
+to see an warning that we couldn't install it. Some code paths silently hide this
+(its a LOCKED_CONFLICT). We add printing of warnings for this case.
+
+Also, if there are two compatible feeds available (e.g. i586 and core2_32), this 
+changes the code path from direct _install() to _pending() since there are multiple
+providers. This patch adds warning handling to _pending() so we don't hit hard 
+failures there. This is as seen with the mysterious libspeexdsp failures for x86-lsb
+on the autobuilder.
