First, thanks for the continued help.

Is there any documentation on the maintenance concept?

My first instinct was to create a subproject, and stuff the main package 
+ supporting package which required a specific version in there.

However, while that does keep a specific version around, it doesn't 
address the issue of a "roll-back" scenario - that means we'd basically 
have to re-build the old version we wanted to push out any time we 
needed to roll-back.

Or, as you suggested, copying the package container. Both seem a bit messy.

This issue is bigger then this though - one *must* continue forward with 
revision movements of repos generated by OBS. For instance, for the 
appliance, I modified the vhost config, but forgot to back up the 
original. No problem, I'll reinstall the version from the repo. Problem 
is, the next version was released; the version I have is no longer 
there. What I have is only repeatable from the actual raw image I have. 
For something "supported" this seems like a very foreign concept. It's 
as if OS updates were all being put in the "base" repository. Not even 
Debian does that. ;)
