+IIUC the only problem is when in the above situation
+we have 1.1.mga1 for any reasons (bug fixing for instance, maybe not
+needed in any mgaX > mga1).
+I believe in that situation who makes the bug-fixing has to work on
+other back-ports/updates because in mgaX > mga1 that package could be
+in core and not in bp.
