No, conary actually does that as well. Conary uses vcs concepts for both sides of things. You can even branch and merge changes from other branchs. Conary even has a concept of a shadow branch, which means you can track upstream and maintain only your local changes. Very cool stuff. It really makes distro maintenance easy, and even easier for derivatives.
