Thanks everyone for your comments, including about the packages not
having actually been updated and therefore no later version exists.

That was my exact concern. I realize if there are no package changes
it doesn't need to be updated; I was just concerned that after the
upgrade (including distro-sync), there were still such old packages. I
would have expected at least a "build world" kind of thing when
releasing the new version, just so all the versions are in sync.

Thanks,
Alex
