I would say that if all linux ports depend on the same linux_base port,
there wouldn't be more than one linux_base-X package in a -RELEASE CD,
so when during installation, we want to add linux_base, we'll always add
the right one (because there'll be only one in the CD).
The bug appeared on one of the last RELEASEs (see the PR, I seem to
remember that it was 5.3-RELEASE) because there were some ports
(actually _2_) that depended on linux_base-6, so linux_base-6 was
included in the CD and, when the user wanted to add "linux_base",
linux_base-6 was chosen instead of linux_base-7 because "6" comes
before "7".
Please note that the Postfix package depends on a similar hack too (see
usr.sbin/sysinstall/config.c, line 993).
