Adding this would be quite easy. I had never found a use case for different pkgvers until now so ad never considered it. No idea why I had not considered pkgrels before.
Could you also do this for the arch variable? Pierre told me that, currently, using 'any' arch in split packages doesn't work. I haven't had the time to see what prevents this (makepkg? devtools? dbscripts?) but I have a hunch that not having the arch variable overridden might play a part in that. A such fonctionality will be useful to provide big API docs in a seperate 'any' package. Another thing (I can submit a FR in flyspray if you prefer) that would be nice: being able to build specific packages from a splitted PKGBUILD. I think that makepkg should build all packages by default and have an option that allows us to specify the desired packages to be built.
