Yes they should. You need to have the latest PackageInfo-Base package 
loaded.

See PackageInfo>>changeRecordForOverriddenMethod: for the scary magic 
that parses backwards in the changes file for the latest version.

HOWEVER better try hard not to use this. It's much cleaner to publish a 
refactored version of the package you're overriding instead.
