You could release empty eggs for those folders. This is the approach we are taking with the separation of Products.CMFPlone from the Plone egg. This allows software to depend on ``Products.CMFPlone`` now but still be compatible with Plone 4.0. See: http://dev.plone.org/plone/browser/Products.CMFPlone/branches/4.0. (A Products.CMFPlone=4.0 pin will be included the versions.cfg for the next 4.0.x release.)
