i don't want to change anything in these packages. all i want is not to
have versioned source dependencies, is the package could be compiled
with any version.
the provied/conflict mechanism is a good thing, it makes sure that such
dependecy will work. but the autocompile will have a list for mappings
unversioned name -> versioned name, so we can define what version is
used.
