The recent openssl update broke a lot of my packages. The update occured right after my Vieter instance rebuilt all of my packages, causing them to all become broken.

As a solution, I propose adding a relatively frequent check to see whether any of the dependencies of the package have changed and if so, to rebuild the package earlier than its regularly scheduled time.

I'm afraid this will add a lot of complexity to Vieter however, as it would require us to store all dependencies used to build a package.

Thanks to now being able to schedule forced builds, this isn't as big of a priority. In the case of big breakage, the user could simply force-build all packages.
