It’s not a question of being safe. Of course it is safe to require higher versions than the ones actually needed. However, you should not ask for more than what the package actually requires, since it is going to complicate the work of people making backports or using the packages for other purposes. For packages like glib which ship .symbols files, this will also needlessly bump the runtime dependency. > If needed I can prepare new patch which includes all your suggestions. It can be a good exercise :) Please also test the package; if you have an application that uses it heavily, it will better than the kind of testing we can give it. Cheers, -- .''`.
