Yes, it's from a9.

About orc. It's funny, but we have developer/orc package in /hipster. 
Now it seems to allow updates we have either rename our package or 
deliver rename for /dev package. I like /dev <-> /hipster cooperation :(

Another question is XNV/JDS updates.
It seems that we have to reimport or rebuild them on /hipster to allow 
updates from /dev. As I understand, many packages from these 
consolidations have "magic" 0.5.11 version, so we can't even reliably 
detect that they are changed.

Thinking about this I see the following option: mark all packages (even 
not rebuilt one) with version significantly higher then used in /dev, so 
that on update such packages with hidden versions could be succesfully 
downgraded and we received consistent system image.
