[yt-dev] Deposited particle velocities

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Nathan,

Hmm, this looks to me like it could be fixed by smoothing onto the
final field, rather than an intermediate step.  Does that match your
expectations?  If so, in the past we've had ways to declaring that
some fields are derived at the level of the final result.  Perhaps
anything in the "deposit" namespace could be special-cased that way.
