Yes, which is exactly how I bumped into this ;-)

See the example I gave; you end up having to specify the same package 
with the same version but with all the capitalisation permutations in 
order for the version pin to stick and allow-picked-versions* not to 
kick the distribution out...

cheers,

Chris

*I use buildout-versions so as not to have to deal with the cycle of 
pin, unpinned version kicked out, next unpinned version kicked out, 
etc... buildout-versions tells me all the problems up front and even 
keeps the versions.cfg file up to date for me ;-)
