like:
stable: pkg_1.1-1
unstable: pkg_1.1-1
should become
stable: pkg_1.2-0.1
unstable: pkg_1.2-1
This way we always ensure that the unstable package builds against
unstable packages (usually requiring different policies, etc..). It
still ensures that we get the correct upgrade between the two.
Does that make sense?
