The packages stuff used in d-i is limited. It only allows one version of
a package, which produced problems with cdebootstrap. In addition it
disallows several other constructs: Breaks, Conflicts and ignores all
versions in relations.
I have the problem with multiple version on my list for a larger
rewrite, which will make it need more memory. It can't be fixed in a
backward compatible way.
