I didn't know about this until this subthread... and I asked a rather
senior packaging person about it some months ago and didn't get this
information.  So I think this is poorly publicized; and perhaps poorly
positioned in the packaging guidelines.

That said, is there a reason the update system shouldn't enforce this?
That is, why allow an update to F-(n-1) that's greater than the current
package in F-n (or devel)?
