Yeah, but the "same slot" thing is a little ambiguous since the
given atom could possibly match multiple slots that include the one
whose postinst is currently running. So, I'd make has_version
generate a QA warning if has_version is called there and the given
atom only matches the one whose postinst is currently running.
