That's in fact standard behavior of rpm-4.4. My personal opinion is that this
is wrong, and I also convinced the rpm-4.4.2.* branch to change the code, but
it currently is what rpm does.
Unfortunately some people need this behavior. The YaST guys use it to obsolete
old product versions (i.e. they don't want to list each and every product made
from SLES10 in the SLES11 products) and the toolchain folks also use it in
their compiler packages.
So I really don't know what to do. The best thing would IMHO be to provide both
ways somehow.
