Suppose you have an out-of-tree (i.e., not available via the target host
package manager) complex application composed of several modules which must
be, first, installed, then, deployed in the correct order. The correct
approach is to separate installation tasks from deployment handlers, and we
must ensure redeployment of dependent modules whenever a dependency has
changed. A possible solution is using *cascading* handlers: indeed, a handler
