if i replace the #NEXTVER# terms in debian/control.in with #VERSION# i can now install all the dummy 180 packages alongside the 185 ones as expected since #VERSION# is RELEASE=185.18.36 in debian/upstream_info so the conflicts work out as with 180 packages <<185.18.36 which seems right to me. i might be mis-using these variables but it seems to make sense to me anyway
