Thanks. Just to make sure I understand: it sounds like you're 
saying that by creating the JSON index files up front, we'd be 
preserving some knowledge about a package's dependency graph that 
isn't easily recovered later by recursively walking through inputs 
and cargo-inputs for the package specs in a manifest/profile?
