First, thanks for making this; I've been thinking about doing something similar for a while.
This change makes it so that only packages which are potentially required are downloaded.
I did this because the original method takes a while to download all the packages and fills up the store. It would be nice to enable other repositories too, and this should make that a bit less painful.
If you don't want this because the whole idea is too complicated, that's fine -- I'll keep my fork separate.
This could maybe do with refactoring a bit, perhaps moving the new functions to a separate 'opkg' module?
