Comment (by waddlesplash):

 After some discussion with Vidrep on IRC and cursory investigation, it
 seems what's really going on here is that it's just showing the packages
 the repository cache knows about; which is for initial installs just the
 build-packages set. I'm not sure what we should do to solve that: try to
 grab the full current repository state at build time? Add a repository
 refresh as part of the "first install" script? Run a repository refresh
 the first time HaikuDepot is opened?
