That's correct. You have to look in the package list file to get the
upstream version; the version numbers in the package files are the
versions of the XEmacs package, not the included software. If you're
familiar with Red Hat or Debian packaging, think of them as the package
version (the stuff after the -) rather than the upstream version.
(Although it's not quite the same.)
