so we should test the version numbers?

2022-02-25 06:46:13 gopherus (Shidel): v1.2.1
2022-03-02 13:54:44 utf8tocp (Shidel): v0.9.4

is not a changelog. a changelog explains the what and why of the
change. not that the change resulted in a new version number.

version numbers of the packages contained should be possible to obtain somewhere
else, even if the package didn't change.
