Sealed package will not update support code if it doesn't think it needs
to. All sealed package does is avoiding separate download. Decision to
update support code or not is still made with compareVersions(). That
hac^Wworkaround is useful if you want to make sure that you package will
be installed with at least this _exact_ version. 

Normally you shouldn't care, since 1.2.0 should be able to install 1.2.5
packages. But sometimes in addition to depending on features you also
depend on bugfixes.
