I am currently working on "pkgedit", which allows editing of every  
aspects
of a package and repacking it as pristine as possible. However, this  
may not
be necessary. It may be more feasible to have a simple mapfile which  
maps
   <pkg> <version> <rev>
with the <rev> part be calculated by a customer-specific way (like  
invoking
a script 'getpkgversion'). That way the packages could stay as they are
but also the standard comparison could be used, it would just need to  
consider
the mapfile on reading. Prefix-specific converters (like for VRTS)  
could be
provided in a contrib/ directory.


Best regards
