For FreeBSD, it will generally only be a single one, and can be
assumed to be the latest stable series unless the maintainer (i.e.,
me) knows a reason to avoid such and stay with an older one.  And if I
do, that probably means we shouldn't have released it yet anyway   ;)

(well, there theoretically COULD be multiple series, as different
packages.  But I can't see any reason to do that, at least until we
have a "this is the last release that will have any support for
$SOMETHING_STILL_IMPORTANT")
