We hashed this out just now in #openstack-infra, but the quick summary is that version specifiers with bindep are sort of experimental. They were added as part of its initial design but the first implementation was dpkg-only and made some assumptions about how distros track available vs installed package versions that couldn't easily be extended to other platforms. As a result, when we started adding rpm (and then later emerge) support, we pretty much just punted on version handling until someone actually turned up who needed it and was willing to do the work to add it in a useful cross-platform manner. For now at least, version specifiers have poor coverage in bindep's unit tests and no coverage in its functional tests and have probably bit-rotted on us. It's on me that I forgot we actually mention version constraints in the bindep documentation, with no indication that they aren't a first-class feature at the moment. Anyway, it sounds like you may have time and interest to help us get this supported properly (at least for rpm-based platforms), so I'm thrilled and looking forward to working with you toward that goal.
