I suggested to Ian at one point that the "=" comparison only compare
the number of characters provided instead of an exact match. This
is basically a suggestion to use "strncmp" instead of "strcmp". Thus,
if you left off the Debian revision, then any debian revision would
match. In fact, you could do something like
Depends: gcc (=2.)
to match any gcc with major revision "2".
