The aprutil1 and apr1 packages are just transition packages to help 
people upgrade from the old package naming schema to the new one. They 
don't need to be in the 1.7 area if we believe everyone will have 
updated their apr1 and aprutil1 packages before they try to upgrade to 
1.7. I'm not sure that's true, though. It seems there are at least some 
people that only update once every 3-5 years. :-)
