Hmm. I don't feel that's a problem. To me that's the expected behaviour.

That was indeed my (naive?) expectation.
Feel free to close this or tag won't fix if you feel that the current design
is appropriate.
Otherwise, can I suggest the fix below?
Change Version: to
Installed Version: 1.1.0-1sarge1
iff other versions are available, add
Available Versions: 1.1.0-1, 1.2.0-1
Unfortunately this will break scripts parsing aptitude show <package>
output.
Thanks for your work on Debian
