Alexander,
When one has two packages,
foobar.info
foobar-10.4.info
where foobar.info has...
Version: 1.0
Revision: 1.0
Distribution: 10.5, 10.6
and foobar-10.4.info has...
Version: 1.0
Revision: 1.0
Distribution: 10.4
I thought the foobar-10.4.info is ignored by fink
unless the Revision is higher than the stock package
for foobar.info. This can be seen by comparing the
Revisions in gauche-10.4.info, gauche-10.5.info and
gauche-10.6.info in the languages subdirectory. Their
revisions (for the same version) are 1, 1001 and 2001
specifically. In the case of a variant that has a
version *lower* than the main package file a revision
is insufficient and an epoch must be used.

ps I wouldn't add the epoch to unzip-10.4.info though
since I'm sure my proposed changes to unzip-10.4.info
I will build (after bumping the revision to 100).
