(Sorry for the late reply, I'm working through a two-week email
backlog.)
DES is correct; the newer pkg_version (which uses the ORIGIN directive)
is better able to make a determination about what's current.
"up-to-date with index" in more recent versions of pkg_version is the
equivalent of "up-to-date" in older versions (the ones that only checked
the INDEX file).
Martti, you didn't say why this was a problem for you...or was this
just simple curiosity?
