For 1, yeah, it probably didn’t get moved forward because the maintainer wasn’t 
active at the 10.6 -> 10.7 transition (and probably still isn’t), and there 
weren’t any complaints.

For 2, I’m honestly not sure.  I’m guessing the issue was that the validator 
complained about unversioned dylibs in a package that didn’t declare 
BuildDependsOnly: false.  If nothing builds against regina’s libraries, then 
you can use BuildDependsOnly: false along the private library syntax in the 
Shlibs field to suppress some of the validator strictness—though you might 
still need to futz around with install_name_tool to put an absolute path in.
