'debian' version for libclojure-java?

All: I found that in creating a Java package that depends on Clojure [0] I had to patch to a specific version [1]. I'm wondering if it would be better to depend on 'clojure' (or 'libclojure-java') as unversioned? There *is* a case where Debian developers may want to have the next (as yet unrele
