That's what I do with starpu and hwloc. In starpu the packaging
difference is really minimal so I use some sed scripts to switch between
the "main" version and the "contrib" version. In hwloc the difference
is more involved so I use two branches, and just pull from master to
contrib. In the end it's not really much additional work.
