Any idea how to handle versioned dependencies

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I'm fiddling around to improve debian-edu gen-control script.  I found out
that gen-control currently does not cope with versioned dependencies like
for instance

    Depends: debianutils (>= 2.6.2)

in a tasks file leads to

    Missing or avoided packages:
    debianutils (>= 2.6.2)

Any opinions how to handle this sanely?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
