Actually, that's the worse of the possible scenarios here. The newest
F-N package should always supersede the newest F-(N-1) package, if it
doesn't, that's essentially a packaging bug the packager ought to fix.

In the cases where you have an fc12 package and there is no fc13
package, though, that's not necessarily any kind of problem, it just
means the package wasn't rebuilt for F13, or if it was, the rebuild
failed. The rebuild failing would be something we'd want to fix over
time, but if the fc12 package works, there's no intrinsic problem here
for a user to worry about.
