I'm all for this. Of course, the separation can be implemented in
different ways.

Why not keep the directory structure simple, and have eg,
setup-test.ini, setup-curr.ini, setup-prev.ini. That way no tarballs
need to be moved/copied from test to curr after found stable. Also,
you'll want test to be afull release (ie, include 'curr' packages for
packages that don't have a test version).
