NixOS addresses quite a few of these. Each version of a package is built into its own unique prefixed environment, and each build can have its own env variables set. You're free to switch between versions on your system as well.
Essentially it is a distro that is built using pointers to individual packages' git commit ids.
Replying to myself - that part isn't accurate. The package manager deals with where the upstream source is found. http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/ Cheers, Jamon
