In that case, you would have to carry the version over.

It's a release management/install dependency nightmare, unless you are
backed by a heavy or well documented process.  Take the OSGi spec, for
example.  They wrote it down, and the spec is where you look.

It would be acceptable if it *absolutely* needed to be done, as in
your example.  But I think the default answer (i.e. best practice)
should be "no, don't do that".
