But there's only one nano. (sounds like an ad campaign) So, nano's
setup.hint has a line like:
requires: foo bar libintl
Later, the (then-)current nano will
requires: foo bar libintl1
but the prev: version of nano still requires libintl. The debate is
whether, during that transition period where prev: and curr: have
DIFFERENT requires, if we should say
requires: foo bar libintl libintl1
to satisfy both prev and curr.
