No, it is not enough.  I realized the issue when I did upgrades on my
own test machine after the upload.

Thanks for the pointer.  I have reflected upon it and intended to leave
the breakage as is.  The 10-day time window between 0.20.4-1 and
0.20.4-2 would not hit too many people I suppose.

I would also like to hear what people on OpenRC devel list think.

Yours,
Benda
