I think we'll have issues with prefixing packages, It would
effectively kill the dependancy tree as some packages depend on a
specific version.

I think we should avoid modifying version numbers / package names
wherever possible. Best would be to suffix the packages as above, but
then using APT pinning to correct the priorities for our repo.

With Apt pinning we can esure that if we have a package by the same
name in our repo, it will always be selected as first choice for
installation, and upgrades in the lower pinned repo (ubuntu's) will be
ignored. If the package doesn't exist in ours then it'll use ubuntu's.

I'm reading up on the documentation now (it's been a while!) and i'll
let you know how I go on.
