I see, we only have 2.1.7 in "testing"...
Recently I've learned that versioned Recommends are considered by aptitude but
ignored by apt-get.
What do you think about combination of
Recommends: python-pyodbc (>= 3.0.6)
Breaks: python-pyodbc (< 3.0.6)
as alternative to
Depends: python-pyodbc (>= 3.0.6)
?
Depends is a good way to enforce version and I reckon we can ignore the
negative effect on backportability for now...
Thanks.
