That's all good and well, but we -MUST NOT- have different compiles with
the same version, there is no way to tell which is prefered!

Arg! CVS apt will insist on upgrading sgml-tools every single time because
of this, Richard can we fix dpkg-scanpackages (quickly) to emulate dpkg? I
very much don't want back out this latest change :< (there is no way for
me to compensate, the information is filtered out by dpkg and
dpkg-scanpackages)
