We can't do this, because it would break the version-number comparison
logic.  One option would be to change the dash to something else.
Maybe tilde?

  guile-reader-for-guile~1.8.8
  guile-reader-for-guile~2.0.7

Even if we decide to remove 'guile-reader-for-guile-1.8.8', there will
surely be other cases like this, so it would be useful to decide on a
policy.
