[ros-release] Releasing with dependency package missing on one distro

[Asmodehn Shade]

Hello,

So I am learning how to release ros packages with bloom.

I tried to release a package ( flask_ext_catkin ) that depends on
python-alembic.
Saucy doesn't have a package for python alembic, so I skipped it in the
rosdep declaration.

But this seems to break my release&builds for all debian based distros.

Q : How can I get my release&builds to work for the debian based distros
that have the package defined ( >trusty ) ?

Thanks a lot !

$  bloom-release --rosdistro indigo --track indigo flask-ext-catkin --edit

<== The following generator action reported that it is missing one or more
    rosdep keys, but that the key exists in other platforms:

If you are absolutely sure that this key is unavailable for the platform in
question, the generator can be skipped and you can proceed with the release.
Skip generator action and continue with release [y/N]? y
