Hmm, I'm not sure if it's incorrect, or just the conservative
approach.  The reason it is there was because we got into trouble
before when symbols were added (#570201).  Upstream doesn't really
make it clear when symbols are added as they don't bump a minor
number.

In this case, I think between wheezy and now there are no new symbols,
so the compatibility is OK, so I could probably change it.  I guess
the other option is to move numctal 2.0.8-rc4 into wheezy...
