Versioning scheme

Hi,

I have firefox installed from mozilla's tar.gz in /usr/local.

I should upgrade libmozjs and xulrunner from exprimental with the
regular aptitude update && aptitude upgrade command sometimes.

aptitude versions handles the version numbers correctly.

But I noticed, that xulrunner, beginning from version 10 are
considered as a separate package with every major version.

Even the bug reports, snapshots etc. have different pages:

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=xulrunner-17.0
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=xulrunner-19.0
http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/xulrunner/
http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/xulrunner-17.0/
http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/xulrunner-18.0/
http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/xulrunner-19.0/


And now I am confused because this might be the reason that aptitude
upgrade doesn't found any upgrade for the installed xulrunner.
