Subject: 24.3.50; :package-version not taking priority over :version
Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:28:59 +0100

The docstring of `defcustom' says:

:package-version
        VALUE should be a list with the form (PACKAGE . VERSION)
        specifying that the variable was first introduced, or its
        default value was changed, in PACKAGE version VERSION.  This
        keyword takes priority over :version.
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

but `describe-variable-custom-version-info' gives priority to :version
over :package-version.  Which one is correct here?

Thanks!
