Thanks for the suggestion. I suppose we could change the versioning to
app-configs-1.0.5-1 and so forth.

I would speculate though that I may still run into my original issue where
I need my-app's control file to depend on a specific version of
app-configs, even though there are multiple available versions (and likely
higher versions) in the repository.

Essentially I'm trying to get the following working:

my-app-1.0.5 requires app-configs-1.0.5
my-app-1.0.6 requires app-configs-1.0.6

So when i type:
$ apt-get install my-app=1.0.5 it installs app-configs-1.0.5.

Currently trying that I get the error:
"my-app : Depends: app-configs (= 1.0-5~aaa) but 1.0-6~bbbb is to be
installed."

I want to make sure a speciflc my-app version installs only a specific
app-configs version.
