If you fear that mismatched subpackages may not work well together,
I'd have them all conflict with versions < exact same build. What
you're trying to describe is a conflict. Any sane repository will
always have subpackages at the same build level, and not self-conflict
(that's the main reason we ask people to avoid conflicts today; it
wouldn't apply in your case).
