Notmally the automatically generated dependecies are a "equal or newer"
relationship. This means newer libs from unstable can move to testing
anytime.
This is only a problem with dev packages or if the major number of the lib
ix chnaged. But in that case the new lib should not conflict with the old,
anyway.
