I believe the apt approach to this is to have a different verb =
(distupgrade vs upgrade) to perform complete version upgrades.  Ideally, =
the proper fix would probably be to depend on a base package version, =
rather than OSVERSION, and if the base packages are not being used to =
synthesise a phantom set of base package metadata based on OSVERSION.
