It provides a snapshot +longdesc of the current processing context of the document, insofar as it +longdesc can be determined from inside LaTeX. If a document contains such +longdesc a dependency list, then it becomes possible to arrange that the +longdesc document be processed always with the same versions of everything, +longdesc in order to ensure the same output. This could be useful for +longdesc someone wanting to keep a LaTeX document on hand and consistently +longdesc reproduce an identical DVI file from it, on the fly; or for +longdesc someone wanting to shield a document during the final stages of +longdesc its production cycle from unexpected side effects of routine +longdesc upgrades to the TeX system.
