I think `Package-Requires:` and other such version dependencies should
state "I know it won't work" or "I have no intention to fix bugs" for
versions that do not satisfy the dependencies.
Not "I currently don't know if it works or not".

You can separately state which version(s) you recommend and/or have tested.
