My apologies.

Janosch is not all-seeing, all-knowing (as is neither of any of us). 
Having a look at the actual orogen file would have given you the 
information you needed.

Yes, I know that you want the most fine-grained dependencies in the 
world, and in this particular case I do agree with you. However, mb500 
is a rock-only package that depends on iodrivers_base and base/types, so 
I am really wondering if breaking backward compatibility and creating a 
duplicate is really worth it.
