IMO, that's the perfect example of how buildroot overrides must NOT be used... Say libfoo-1.0 is in a side-tag update. You use a BRO to build another package, or, maybe worse, someone who is not aware of the BRO you created build their package against libfoo-1.0, and those packages are submitted in different updates. If, for some reason, libfoo-1.0 update lands in stable after the other packages, or never lands because it is gated or is blocked by negative feedback, the other packages are getting broken when they're submitted to stable. The purpose of side-tags is exactly to prevent such breakages.
