it almost never happens. 
This is about the second time in 6 years.

Plus... it would be very difficult to do FULL loop detection.

Even "simple" detection with two packages, is potentially non-trivial,
since checkpkg is at the moment very much centered on a
"one package at a time" mechanism.
More complicated stuff would involve checkpkg attempting to contact our
central database and do SQL queries.
Not something I'd want it doing commonly.

Might be appropriate for PRE-PUBLISH-time checking. But not appropriate for
checkpkg.

If someone wants to volunteer to think up how to do the SQL for that check,
please talk to me via direct off-list email, and I'd be happy to
collaborate with you.
