OK, and what do you suggest then? Tell them that a lib of <newer version>
would be required, judging from information encoded in the (new) "app"

And if so, assuming that the information which depends _exactly_ a
pkg was compiled against is only used for user information, how do the
users get this information? Printed automatically? When?
