example to illustrate the problem:

onap/requirements.yaml: dmaap 2.0.0

dmaap/requirements.yaml: common 2.0.0

dmaap/charts/dmaap-bus-controller/requirements.yaml: postgres 2.0.0

When you run "make" at the kubernetes top level, the dmaap chart does not detect that dmaap-bus-controller has a requirements.yaml and does not download the postgres chart so it doesn't get deployed.

I believe the Makefile is scanning requirements.yaml files but only at 1 level deep.  We should iterate on this to make it work wherever there is a requirements.yaml present.
