One solution would be to make per-version subpackages conditional via macros
and build only the one that has been updated. 

Example: we have unison-2.9-1 package which produces
unison-2.9-1
unison28-2.8-2
unison21-2.1-5

We want to update unison28, so the next build of unison-2.9-2 produces only:
unison28-2.8.1-1

What do you think?

Dominik
