Then I propose to introduce a new package description field: Upgrade-To: Which means, (on Upgrade-To: foo (>= 1.2-3)) if you have installed foo, then apt-get will force upgrade to at least version 1.2-3 or remove foo. > involves an OR group - which is the worst possible situation.

I do not want to force the user to install a package, but if he installs it, it should be at least the specified version.
