Bug#514249: History of the change



Hi

> Nikita - can you shed some more light on this change and why it was
> necessary?

As far as I can remember, there have been some moment when -$arch-cross 
created by "older" version of dpkg-cross became incompatible 
with -$arch-cross packages created by "newer" version.
So something was needed to stop -$arch-cross packages created by "older" 
dpkg-cross from satisfying dependences of the -$arch-cross packages 
created by "newer" dpkg-cross.
To solve that, "layout versions" have been introduced.

I can't remember all the details now - too many time passed :).

Nikita
