	If you do use dependencies, be sure to switch to 1.2.6 (because
of bug #105), also you should force 1.2.6 as your autopackage target (so
that for users who have previous 1.2.x installed it would update support
code). To force autopackage version edit
/usr/share/autopackage/stub.2.template, and replace
"%AutopackageTarget%" with "1.2.6".

To have the same effect, I've added the following to the "Meta" section
of my specification files:

AutopackageTarget: 1.2.6

	Double check your package, when it is built, it will have 

	AutopackageTarget: 1.2

	makepackage will do this bit of magic, because the idea is that
all 1.2.x releases are compatible, so 1.2.6 will not update autopackage
1.2.5 in case it is already installed on user's machine (but will update
1.1.x). Except there is a bug in 1.2.5 (and more on previous 1.2.x) that
screws up dependencies, so you should force exact version.
