Why? Well most libraries don't get new features in one day, so checking for a major version release only should be more then sufficient.

That's not really a solution, its a way around a problem that has problems in and of itself.
Library minor version updates can contain bug fixes, security fixes, and a host of other changes. If you ignore that, then you can end up having things seemingly work but they can end up unstable or insecure -- it puts a heavier burden on the administrator of the computer.
I actually agree with everything Belisarius said. Though I don't have any problems installing the nvidia drivers, that's only due to the experience of having gone through those problems in the past.
