I'm thinking out loud though and haven't tested this. I believe that Pacman already does most of this minus accepting versioned packages using -S, but I think that is something they would consider adding upstream as you can specify repos.
Pacman actually already does this, e.g. "pacman -S haskell-foo<=1.5" works. I had only tested it with "-Si" for some reason. Yet another approach is to simply provide a tool that can check the local database for inconsistencies by comparing the install dates against the dependency graph. It could be integrated into bauerbill but I would prefer to wait until I can release its replacement as I hope to include hooks in it that the user can use to run custom code for such things.
