Hi Tzafrir,

yep.

>=20

well, it's 2 reasons:
1.) Debian doesn't allow to Depends on packages not in the archive. That
above alternative would be a broken reference and thus
policy-nonconformant
2.) the version was introduced since a config change had brought large
issues (i don't remember the exact version)

Thus, we could make it a >=3D ${Source-Version} which you then could nail
down with a (virtual) package having a higher epoch.
I'll reconsider the downsides of this and commit the fix if I come to
like it.=20

Does that solution sound well enough for your problem?

--=20
