It's all described in my reply to Nathan's mail (Monday, 15:46 CEST). To be 
precise: 

if not explicitly set, the default value is:
qgisMaximumVersion = floor( qgisMinimumVersion ) + ".99.99"

So you *only* need to set qgisMaximumVersion, if you're not satisfied with the 
defaulf range x.y - x.99.99

Can we put it somewehere to the docs? I was writting it a dozen times again 
and again since this behaviour had been introduced right before 1.0 release :D
