Um, yeah, I expect "linux_base" to be whatever the current version  
is: I didn't specify 7.x or 8 or 9 or SuSE. Again, why is 7.3 the  
default if 8.0 is the currently-supported version?

If a naive user installs linux_base to satisfy a dependency, how do  
they know which one to choose (or which one(s) not to)?

These are the choices:
linux_base
linux_base-8
linux_base-debian
linux_base-fc3
linux_base-gentoo-stage1
linux_base-rh-9
linux_base-suse-9.1
linux_base-suse-9.2
linux_base-suse-9.3
