I cannot see how this would solve the problem with packages unable to build on older releases, you still have to satisfy those new dependencies, maybe you could try to cut stuff down a little, and only compile in features you want yourself, not linking against libraries you don't need etc... but for what? also think of the nightmare when it comes to bug reporting/solving if everyone were to use different compile options, flags etc. and if this is for making it easier for user joe to use new versions of packages on an old release, I just don't think he's interested in spending a day compiling everything needed for the latest kde..
I didn't say it would be easy, and I didn't say it was necessary. I just said it would be neat if it worked. :-)
