I completely understand that. My point was that I think it is
beneficial to keep the version requirements there in case someone
wants to backport it. That way they will not run into unexpected

I increased it as I was updating the package and publishing to
mentors. In retrospect that was not necessary or correct. I have
pushed 0.5.4-1 which incorporates all these changes.
