Ok so we have a clear problem in that people need to keep old versions around.

We'll introduce a per-PPA setting that allows the owner to configure the number of versions to keep for old sources before they are superseded, or to keep them indefinitely. This means if you had say, "keep 2 old versions plus the current one" you'd get something like this:

foo 1.0 (SUPERSEDED)
foo 1.1 (PUBLISHED)
foo 1.2 (PUBLISHED)
foo 1.3 (PUBLISHED)

I think this pretty much what the original bug report wanted and there's good justification for it in the comments.

Thanks to all the bug commenters for helping to see the use cases here.
