Sigh.  I thought I had fixed lz4 [1], but apparently not, it suffers 
from the same class of problem (briefly, replace-versions: doesn't work 
on versions which are also offered for installation)

These are the only other packages which I am aware of which suffer from 
this specific problem, and I'm not sure I want to fix those in the same way.

If you think there are other package which have this problem can you 
please tell me what they are...
