Hi Pedro,

Sorry, I don't think I've made my question very clear (should probably 
have started a new thread) - I understand the naming system now, but 
what I'm not sure about is this:

I uploaded a source package monodevelop_0.18.1+dfsg-1 (which I took from 
Debian upstream) which has a build dependency libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil 
(>= 0.3).  The current version of libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil in Hardy is 
0.3~svn.r90520-1, which I soon discovered is actually < 0.3 so the build 
failed.  What I want to know is, if I upload an updated source package 
to my PPA for libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil so that the version is >= 0.3, 
will I then be able to build my monodevelop package, or will the build 
system only be able to use the lower version from the main repositories?

Thanks,
Will
