It is somewhat rude, but I kind of deserved it. :-)
Yes, I maintain some libs and I think 2.0.2 was a wrong value
originally and I should not have kept it.
I have retrurned to #MINVER# and also fixed the broken dependency.
I misinterpreted the relevant policy part and I thought setting an
exact value instead of the template
was a valid option.
