I am not saying that Monticello doesnt know how to provide resolution of 
Universe dependencies.

I am saying that if you install a monticello package from a url, and 
that package attempts to load other 'specific' packages due to its 
internal dependencies, the url loading context may have no repositories 
registered in which monticello can look to find those requirements.
