In other words, a package superseded by another still gets its
Obsoletes entries taken into account? I breaks the POLA as far as I'm
concerned, it means the only way to undo such a mistake is first to
have the mistake only happen in the updates repository, and work
around it by pushing two consecutive updates with the correct
Obsoletes. If the wrong Obsolete is in the base repo it's already game
over...
