5.1. Package definition rules

Jason: allow circular and clients/servers must truncate?

Action point of the weekly call:

Raise issue, this could possible be useful.
E.g. could a routing package depend on an OAM package?
Could an OAM package also depend on a routing package?
One choice is make circular dependencies illegal.
Otherwise allow them to resolve.
What problem of allowing them:
- Could cause packages to be hacked up.
- Potential consequences of allowing it.

5.1, point 2.

Make it clear to exactly how to resolve package version overrides.
Also add text to explicitly avoid circular packages includes. E.g., Which version is choosing by explicitly including that package and indicating with package version replaces.
