No, i don't think so. We only have not coped yet with the fact that we have a set of names (kernel-source-2.6.11, kernel-source-2.6.10, kernel-source-2.6.9, ... and so on), which concern one and the same package. Compare this to a kernel-source package, which would have version 2.6.9, 2.6.10, ... There really is no technical difference between a package with the version embeded in the name where various version can be simultaneously in the archive, and a package that has one name or various simultaneous versions.
