That would be nice. The current situation (with misleading package
versions) is a huge improvement over what we had before, but I think
that users should not need to understand the implementation details of
grafting to determine the version of packages.
I always figured this quirky limitation was a side-effect of rushing to
implement recursive grafting before OpenSSL 1.0.2g was released.
