It's not as bad as it initially looks (the message emits
major.minor.patchlevel versions), because only the first two components
of the version (major.minor) are being compared, so it blows up on the
5.5->5.6 switch. The new upstream patchlevel releases frequently
uploaded to (old-)stable do not cause problems.
