state the patch only allows the wildcard to cover the whole version,
not just a portion, but the idea was to move to partial matches too).

It is. The only character with a special meaning, in my patch, would
be the "%" character, and would ONLY be special if the extension has
set the wildcard_upgrades directive to "true" in the .control file.
