Description
In order to make another step towards more reproducible build plans, @hdgarrood, @tfausak and I talked about the possibility of specifying version strings like:
```
== 2.0.0.0-1
```
where the `-1` specifies a revision.
This asks some questions like "What should be the behaviour when the package repo doesn't have such a revision?", and I think this also questions the way we declare dependencies nowadays (but that's for another time).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed dependency syntax `== 2.0.0.0-1` and the unresolved questions in this issue, especially behavior when a package repository lacks the requested revision. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so completion criteria would need to be established before implementation.
