Jens, Hanno and Maurits van Rees agreed with this change.
Have you read the issue entirely ?
The problem was if you install a product FooBar 0.1 (profile version
25), then you update to FooBar 0.2 (26)
you see in the Add/Remove Products page :

"FooBar 0.2
This product has been upgraded. Old version was 0.1"

Then you update to FooBar 0.3 (27), you will have always the following message
"FooBar 0.3
This product has been upgraded. Old version was 0.1"
That's very confusing, isn't it? You will always have 0.1 here because
it's the "Version at Install time" kept by portal_quickinstaller.

Now with the change.
For a product without profile, nothing change. You will get the "This
product has been upgraded. Old version was 0.1" and then This product
has been upgraded. Old version was 0.2" because the product is not
updated, but reinstalled.

For product with a profile, you will get:
"FooBar 0.2
This product has been upgraded. Old profile version was 25. New
profile version is 26."
and then
"FooBar 0.3
This product has been upgraded. Old profile version was 26. New
profile version is 27."

Better.

I don't think it could confuse user to show the old and new profile
version. The user will see there is a difference between versions and
just click on Upgrade. That's all.
