Hi all...
While staring at the repoclosure output for Rosa 2023.1, I noticed that
there are some "unresolved dependencies" that are not real.
* In the repoclosure for Contrib: snd (because requires openmotif from 
Non-free).
* In the repoclosure for Non-Free: beneath-a-steel-sky, drascula and 
flight-of-the-amazon-queen (because they require scummvm from Contrib);
rott (because requires autodownloader from Contrib).

The warning gets wrongly triggered because, by default, a Contrib 
package build includes only Main and Contrib repos and, similarly,
a Non-free package build includes only Main and Non-free repos.
So a Contrib package depending upon Non-free stuff or a Non-free package 
depending upon Contrib stuff will always be flagged as faling in 
repoclosure, while they are really installable (since Non-free and 
Contrib repos are enabled by default).

Is there a way to avoid or suppress the wrong warnings?
