While we're on the subject... Suppose I have a package, which I know 
works with foo-8.7.2. What should the Cabal dependents field say? We 
have a choice of

  foo == 8.7.2
  foo >= 8.7.2
  foo >= 8.7
  foo >= 8.7 && < 8.8
  foo == 8.7.*

So which one is the "correct" one? Based on your responses, I'm guessing 
it's supposed to be the last one...
