How tightly tied is xmonad-contrib to precise versions of xmonad? For
example, were the security team to release an update for xmonad
(probably as 0.7-2+lenny1) would xmonad-contrib need rebuilding to
handle the update, or would it just work?
If the latter is the case then it would be preferable to allow the
dependencies to handle that, rather than needing another upload purely
to bump the dependencies again; e.g. "libghc6-xmonad-prof (>= 0.7-2),
libghc6-xmonad-prof (<< 0.7-3)".
