We have problems with using the "Skip packages" option as well. We would like to be able to skip all child steps. Here is an example that is not working for us.
Step 1: Deploy Service
Child step 1: Stop service
Child step 2: **Deploy package**
Child step 3: Start service
Child step 4: Remove some unused files
We would like all 4 of these child steps to be skipped if there is no change to the package in child step 2. Right now, child steps 1, 3, and 4 still run.
