yes, a simple depends will make sure this happens.

yes, but this wont happen. there is only 0.50 in the archive.

yes, so what. there wont be a version lower than 0.50 in the archive.
your versioned dependency doesnt achieve anything which isnt achieved already
anyway. thats why it's not needed. if in future 0.77 really really needs
exactly 0.77, we can introduce a versioned dependency. But *currently* there
is *nothing* in place which makes it needed, that 0.51 needs 0.51. 0.51 will
work fine if a package is from 0.50. Not than this is likely anyway.
So, again: there is no need for a versioned depends. A simple depends is fine.
Because: there are no downgrade. Apt will always choose higher versions.
cheers,
Holger
