There is a difference between source-dependencies and component-dependencies.
Source-dependencies are source files, not listed as components, and they
will appear in the dep-list in the final chicken-do invocation.

Component dependencies do not play into this - they are just used to order the
components as they are built and are not listed in the chicken-do invocation.

The bug is caused by the incorrect mixing up of these two types of dependencies,
which should be fixed by applying my other patch regarding these.
