Strict versions would keep you locked in to a version until the package is updated. And there were epochs were mythtv was released in monthly cycles and there were also minor patch releases in between. I would even drop versioning altogether, mythtv-suite was just a way to get it all on your system. But some folks were using apt-get install mythtv-suite instead of (dist-)upgrade for upgrading their systems, so I introduced the lower bounds. mythtv-suite is not intended for downgrading. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
