Have you considered solving this using the way we usually allow several
versions of the same software in Debian, that is, by suffixing the
package name with the version? (gcc4.7, gcc4.8)
I'm not completely convinced that we need several versions of OpenStack
at the same time in a backports-like repository, but if you want to
achieve that, that's a way that doesn't involve separate repositories
for each release.
