I've plumped for using libapt-pkg-perl (as suggested in the TODO
item) rather than Dpkg::Version (as suggested by the comments in the
original module) as it should be more efficient, which is the object
of the exercise after all. The only downside I can see is that it's
an additional dependency, but I don't think that's a huge issue -
it's not a particularly large package and its only dependencies are
basically guaranteed to be present already (perl, apt, libgcc1,
libstdc++6).
Yeah, it should be fine (although one of us should open an RT ticket
asking for it to be installed on gluck, since it isn't currently).
