That's just a sample of implementation. As it is now, it seems that
each format-specific package class needs to handle it on its own.

If you mean version under which this package will be dependent
upon, then for sure yes, I didn't even consider that area. My usecase
is to create "proxy" packages which would already fit into existing
dependency chains - just exactly need to set PV to match external
expectations.
