No. We are talking about differentiating between "ntfs" version 3g and
"ntfs-3g".

foo/bar is completely valid to reference a package.

foo/bar-3 should be treated as category "foo", package "bar-3".
Currently that is not the case and is not allowed.

=foo/bar-3 would be "foo", package "bar", version "3" as it still is.

Carsten, no offense but I think you totally misunderstood the scope of
what I was trying to convey and Robin explained in better detail.
Essentially, we mentioned something that would not change the tree AT
ALL. It would just clarify the ambiguity of versioning slightly.
