While I hardly present in any discussions leading to the change back then, I
do remember dealing with it from the other side of things in the plentiful,
namely from apt-rpm and packaging POV. I'm really not going to dig back into
them old memories in detail, but I have a fairly strong recollection of there
being some unsolvable (corner or not) cases with epoch promotion that the
current behavior solves. Which is what I meant with the "doesn't work" remark.
But of course it's possible I'm misremembering something there, been a while...
