I take that back. Even if libdarcs allows hashed-storage 0.5.3, it is never
going to be built against it, unless building the "darcs" binary is disabled,
if the latter mandates 0.5.2.

I am also not sure it's a good idea to build libdarcs against 0.5.2 and
darcs-fastconvert against 0.5.3, even if that may be technically possible:

Warning: This package indirectly depends on multiple versions of the same
package. This is highly likely to cause a compile failure.
package darcs-2.4.98.3 requires hashed-storage-0.5.2
package darcs-fastconvert-0.1 requires hashed-storage-0.5.3

(I haven't gotten around to importing the actual code yet, so it *might* work.
But the warning isn't very encouraging and I expect the build to actually
break.)

Yours,
   Petr.
