Hah! It only assures correct working of the even more puzzling  
PackageInfo>>changeRecordForOverriddenMethod: method after condensing ;)

See

	http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=2514

The proper test would be using PackageInfo>>isOverrideMethod:, but  
that would introduce a cross-package dependency. Also, it should only  
preserve the most recent versions of each overriding package, but I  
couldn't be bothered to implement this, so I simply retain all the  
history.

Anyway, if you dabble in that are, a comment might be in order ...
