It's not, but perhaps an issue that should be revisited.
The idea was that revisions of the LSB within a major
version should be compatible so that the minor version
didn't need to show through at the packaging level.
Seems like some executive decisions led to a lot more
fundamental changes througout the 3.x series and that
might not have been quite right (we'll have to think
about this a bit).
