This is where TUV's practices can get one confused.  They have a habit 
(for good reason) of sticking with a version number on release and 
backporting patches (including security) as needed.  Sometimes it is 
worth reading the changelog/revision history for a specific package to 
save yourself some time in the long run.

Cheers,
Mark
