and the sentence is incomplete. What I wanted to add is that nowadays no
Epoch and zero Epoch are the same and can be compared to eachother without
trouble, whereas years ago such a comparison lead to problems. And, of
course, versions in dependencies can get out-of-date, so eventually the
packager will need to revisit them and bump them, too.
