This is still misterious...

But I found the explanation of this. It will tolerate missing deps
unless it thinks that a subsequent step will fail, and a
kickstart-driven install will conceivably fail if there's a missing
dep - as per the comment:

 # FIXME:
 # - Dependency resolving may fail yet continue in case of composing
installation media
 #   - which is not supposed to go to cobbler
 #   - which does not include the kickstart

cheers,
