Ugh, that's quite disturbing. All these version scheme dances are |
| 22 |
anything but practical. If there's no new release we should be using |
| 23 |
9.8-r1 or whatever fits, just like in any other package. |

Otherwise, when .31 hits the tree we are going to need to mask |
| 26 |
ati-drivers and unmask that concrete version. |
