Unless you explicitly override it in setup.hint.

setup.hint files are hints to upset (the script which makes setup.ini).
If you hint to it that curr is 21.2-11, then it will believe you.
IIRC, explicit versions are only required in setup.hint if:
- there is a test package
- the upstream package version numbers are too weird for upset to decide
which is current on its own.
