When a dependency breaks (nlinum v1.4 :P ), it would be good to have some
way to hold back the version (v1.3), until a fix is released.
Could there be an optional *maximum-version* argument when specifying
dependencies?

For dependencies between packages, no we don't offer that.
The closest we have is the ability for the end-user to "pin"
a particular version (see package-pinned-packages).

PS: I can't remember hearing complaints about breakage in nlinum-1.4.

Was that function renamed in v24?
I can't find it. I web searched that it was suggested that
package-pinned-packages is replaced by package-desc-reqs.
