Well, this approach might be one way to go, but without offering a 
version.cfg with all versions used in the release its the only way to go. 
I prefer to have the choice.

As said, having two index= in one buildout - the only way to make it work 
with eggs from pypi and version pinned repoze.bfg - is a complicated 
construct. It works but for sure buildout was not made to support it.

A simple solution to give people a choice is: 

a) provide a version.cfg for each release
b) (optional) release everything on pypi as well
