This could be a good start, but what later?
I mean the next version, will be foo_1.2-6 for unstable, and for
bo-unstable?
foo_1.2-5.bo fails condition 2b (less than the unstable: I read less
than _all_ the unstable versions of that package, otherways you could
upgrade a libc6 to a libc5).

I would prefere to see the corresponding hamm version number attached;
these releases are made as twin packages, no?
