Thanks. Will do now.

Thanks, but I think you are mistaken: In my experience, "<= 0.6" is
equivalent to "<= 0.6.*" (not "<= 0.6.0"). If I was mistaken, then I
believe that e.g. oxigraph, which for some time has carried this line:

quick-xml = ">= 0.37, <= 0.38

would FTBFS with librust-quick-xml-dev 0.38.4-1, and that works fine.

I find <= easier to read than << (even if only for the upstream part -
dpkg lacks that syntax).

Please do insist, if you still think I am wrong here. Of course :-)

 - Jonas
