Are we going to support upgrading from any level of previous
install to hamm? Because the deity problems could be avoided
by providing new bo-updates versions of packages that have a
self-referential Depends: -line. Ugly, but it would work (Or
so it seems). Would policy allow this? Do you think it would
be too much trouble for upgraders? Why is this text a block?
