Yes, and I don't really like it either but I think it's reasonable to
assume that if you install compat8x you can run FreeBSD 8 programs,
unless of course it has always been the case that compat packages
only worked on the next major version and if you want them to work on
versions after that you need to install any intermediate compat
packages as well, but I don't think this has been the case.  And if it
is the case it still makes sense to add run dependencies depending on
OSVERSION to make this more explicit.
