Do you mean unexpected gcc version changes? There are none in the SRU
queue, so I think that is low risk. However, I could change
"gcc-5_5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5" to "gcc-5 >= 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5" to
future proof it.

If that needs to be the case, c'est la vie, but if it's just the
wording, I'm happy to fix that up.
