Sure.  I've probably not been clear, i was not suggesting adding this
"=1.2.*" syntax in EAPI=0 (just mentioned it since it was one of the
proposal made here, but personaly i don't like it).

My suggestion is only about dropping the substring-match semantics, to
replace it with something more restrictive, and that, it's doable for
EAPI=0 if decided now.

FYI, below is a list of existing =foo/bar-x.y* depatoms for which a
foo/bar-x.y[0-9]* ebuild exists.  Each time, it is followed by the
list of ebuilds which use this depatom, with details grepped-out from
the said ebuild.  When there is no details, it usualy means that the
dep is in an eclass (that the case for several =automake-1.1* and
=autoconf-2.1* deps, which could be fixed all at once in
autotoools.eclass).
