I would be finer here.  For instance, the manifest contains the same
package at several versions, i.e., ’package-with-upstream-version’
applies to the same package at different version. Slurm is one example
among many others:

                         (lambda (p1 p2)
                           (match p1 ((n1 . _) (match p2 ((n2 . _) (string< n1 n2)))))))
