Thanks for the link. But, I don't see how the solves the issue. It still declares the dependent package can depend upon a newer version of the any package when no such guarantee of compatibility exists in the upstream source.
Don't forget you might cause your package to be uninstallable with the tight dependencies. That might be even less nice than have compatibility problems.
I'd perfer the package be uninstallable than have an incompatible set of binary packages installed. To my mind, that's part of the advantage of the debian packaging system, to reduce the possibility of incompatible packages being installed. -- Kevin Rosenberg kevin@hypershots.com
