I dont know if i said different in the past, but if so I was wrong. I
would suggest to depend on the versioned packages, so you get an
implicit upper bound.

For instance: Depends: firefox-3.0, abrowser-3.0, iceweasel-3.0 (do
they have that?) ... problem is that currently you only know that you
are compatible with 3.0.* ... but not what will happen in future (so
no 3.*) ... can you adjust the depends accordingly?
