There are generally few changes in source strings - probably less than
in the ABI itself. Plus, it only means the strings won't be translated.
Of course the "correct" dependencies - those with the exact strings -
are "libeel2-data (>= ${gnome:Version}), libeel2-data (<<
${gnome:NextVersion})", but in this case we lose the ability to install
two versions at once. We moved away from this scheme because such
libraries became unmanageable in experimental. The reason why I'm asking
for the change to be also in etch is because of the GNOME 2.16 backport
that some people are preparing.
