I don't see what's unsave about it now.  As long as you don't use wildcard
depends (and I don't see a good reason to want to use them for xforms)
TRT will happen.

But if you must change the version number, why not use 86 and 88 as the
major number so that it is more obvious what version you are dealing with.
Not that you'd be able to install both version in parallel with just that
change, so you wouldn't solve a problem with that...

BTW, is it nowadays out of fashion to use Subject: lines that have some
relation to the subject?
