What I am saying is that until that issue of ordering is resolved (and I highly suspect it is unsolvable) I think it is dangerous and more confusing to let binary packages be built, and it is better to simply forbid it like in the current scheme.

BTW, if we _were_ to do a sed, please do s/-/./g instead; the underscore breaks Debian if I am not mistaken.
