Ack.

Hm, a breaks with a binNUM version sounds at least inelegant.

How about:
libcrypt-openssl-pkcs10-perl: Depends: libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl (>= 0.28-4)
libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl: Breaks: libcrypt-openssl-pkcs10-perl (<< 0.16-2)

(Probably not "canonical" but should get us closer to safe
territory.)


Cheers,
