It is nevertheless useful for two purposes. First it makes sure that a equal comparison would work - which is not used in OpenPKG today. More important, as CURRENT is the basis for any RELEASE, the next released bootstrap will have something like "Provides: openpkg = 20034567-20034567" in it which will enable the use of CURRENT packages together with such a prepared RELEASE bootstrap without using --nodeps.
