The more I look at this problem, the more I see that a local repo maintained by the local user is the right answer. It works right now, requires no changes, and let's you control EXACTLY what you want in your repo (including files from other places in a single repo).

You can freeze package xxxxx and it dependencies as you see fit, and add only tested packages to the repo. It is just the right way to do version control if you don't want to just use the version control that is published by the repo maintainer.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to write a local repo management app that can pick rsync repos to mirror, selectively freeze packages, and such. This would be nice.
