Actually if you use bbcollections, and set the priority higher in the
zipitbbfiles, it will take precedence no matter what the PR is.  Try
something like the following in your local.conf -- replace
openembedded.custom w/ zipitbbfiles ....

BBFILES := "${TOPDIR}/openembedded/packages/*/*.bb
${TOPDIR}/openembedded.custom/packages/*/*.bb"
BBFILE_COLLECTIONS = "upstream custom"
BBFILE_PATTERN_upstream = "^${TOPDIR}/openembedded/packages/"
BBFILE_PATTERN_custom = "^${TOPDIR}/openembedded.custom/packages"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_upstream = "5"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_custom = "10"
