gcc-c++ has an exact version match libstdc++dependancy. This makes it extreem hard to create packages that package other versions of gcc-c++, since downgrading / upgrading libstdc++ isn't an option.<br />

I would be better if libstdc++ provides a soname with a version number (can be reduced from the information at <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/abi.html#abi.versioning">http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/abi.html#abi.versioning</a> [<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/abi.html#abi.versioning" target="_blank">^</a>]), and let gcc-c++ be dependant on that. With a proper Obsolutes libstdc++ upgrades can be managed.
