Comment (by zooko):

 As Kyle mentioned on [https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-
 dev/2012-May/007339.html a mailing list thread], it would be nice if, when
 the build system detects that it already has everything it needs locally,
 then it doesn't look at the net at all. If this ticket were fixed, and we
 had the ability to refrain from getting dependencies, then we could also
 implement this added feature of "don't look at the net if you already have
 everything you need". I guess that should really be a separate ticket, but
 I honestly don't feel like going to all the effort to open a separate
 ticket.

 I'll just re-iterate that if you want me, or anyone else, to make progress
 on this ticket, then please start by answering my questions from
 comment:21.
