[pkg-ggz-maintainers] About versioned build dependencies

Most GGZ packages have versioned build dependencies like

libggz-dev (>= 0.0.12)

I'm not sure if this is necessary.  My concern is that if we set these 
too tightly, then uploading a new upstream version will take forever, 
because you need to wait a couple of days between each step in the 
dependency chain.  Then again, if the implementation is such that these 
are needed, we should probably upgrade them and perhaps set them using 
an automatic dpkg substitution variable.
