This has to be discussed as stated in http://forge.typo3.org/attachments/445/08.txt

For storing multiple versions of one package a lot of code must be touched.

Another approach might be

You have a Packages Subfolder for each Context.
The Priority of the Packages would be
1) Context
2) Local
3) Global

Example:
Packages\Global\Blog [v0.1]
Packages\Local\Blog [v0.2]
Packages\Development\Blog [v0.3]

While beeing in the Development Context I will use v0.3 of the Blog. In the Production Context I will use v0.2.
If I delete the Local\Blog Directory. My Development Context doesn't change; I'm still using v0.3. However in
Production Context I will now use v0.1

With this approach you can easily uses multiple Versions of Packages in different Context. [assuming the data structure didn't changed]

Packages | \- Global | | \-FLOW3 | | \-Fluid | | \- ... | \- Local | | \-FLOW3 | | \- ... | \- Development | | \-FLOW3 | | \- ... | \- YourContext | | \-FLOW3 | | \- ...
