Thanks for the link. But, I don't see how the solves the issue. It
still declares the dependent package can depend upon a newer version
of the any package when no such guarantee of compatibility exists in
the upstream source.

I'd perfer the package be uninstallable than have an incompatible set
of binary packages installed.  To my mind, that's part of the
advantage of the debian packaging system, to reduce the possibility of
incompatible packages being installed.
