    Yes :)

    libvorbis is a tricky one. SuSE has released a release candidate(s) and
    called these e.g: libvorbis-1.0rc3-132

    The one that is part of 8.1 is called: libvorbis-1.0 and for APT is this a
    older package that the one installed...

    Another, but related story, can be told about libpng. In SuSE-8.0 version 2.1
    has been provided and in 8.1 SuSE provides version 1.2

    The way to deal with this is by using the /etc/apt/preferences file:
    # linux:/tmp # cat /etc/apt/preferences
    Package: libvorbis
    Pin: version 1.0-*
    Pin-Priority: 1001

    Package: libpng
    Pin: version 1.*
    Pin-Priority: 1001

    This will take care that the above mentioned packages are being downgraded(!)
    during the upgrade from 8.0 -> 8.1 :)

    Some info:
    # apt-server: SuSE/8.1-i386 $ ls R*/libvorbis*
    RPMS.base/libvorbis-1.0-43.i586.rpm RPMS.base/libvorbis-devel-1.0-43.i586.rpm

    # apt-server: SuSE/8.1-i386 $ ls R*/libpng*
    RPMS.base/libpng-1.2.4-40.i586.rpm RPMS.base/libpng-devel-1.2.4-40.i586.rpm

    # client: $ rpm -qa | grep -E "libvorbis|libpng"
    libpng-2.1.0.12-154
    libvorbis-1.0rc3-132
