  I don't know any from the top of my head, but sometimes xxx-* means
'xxx-[0-9]*' or 'xxx-current-[0-9]*'.

  Do that, but you may want to counter-check those packages where a
-current exists.  For most packages this should be a non-issue, because
most (if not all) of these packages install their '-current' version as
'package-<version>' (where <version> is a newer version than the base
package) anyway.
