In general once a crate moves to the next semver they stop updating the previous version(s). Some of these, especially ones where we have to unbundle libraries, would be good candidates for having a generic version that could be shared between some of the modules. I think if we just searched for packages ending in -sys or -src we would catch probably all of them, and then we could just emit a comment that the package should be checked for bundled sources. We do have some things set in the build system.
