Yeah, me too, since I just broke the smoke test the other day myself!

That's right. What happens is that dependencies can be transitive.
Since all Lisp is in the same name space, and we have the autoload
feature, it's possible that under normal circumstances a certain
library is always loaded before another. However, in the package
build process we don't permit auto-autoloads IIRC, and explicitly load
auto-autoloads for explicit dependencies. (This is intended to keep
really confusing stuff like advice and APEL out of the package
builds.)
