Ok, I've been thinking about this versioning model for some time - it's quite 
ambiguous and can be a source of all kind of sorting problems. Here you set 
preferred versions, which is good for the build. But from a package manager 
it's unclear which one is preferred, moreover, if one is a clear upgrade path 
for the other, or not... So, basically, there will be problems in the field 
with this split and versioning of those packages. But I'm not sure if there's 
a better way to handle this exception.
