They are of course. In my vocabulary a version consists of major.
minor . micro (or patchlevel). Going from 1.2 to 2.0 is a major new
feature release. Going from 1.2 to 1.3 is a minor new feature release.
Package dependencies are a new feature and need a new feature release.
They cannot be done in "third-dot" or "bug fix" releases. But Lennart
didn't ask for that.
