For me this is more a question of whether I can override version definitions. 
If the following is possible, I like the current method:

[buildout]
develop = . ../z3c.name
extends=http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/versions-3.4.0c1.cfg
versions = versions

[versions]
z3c.name = 1.3.1dev

The additional version specification should be merged into the extends version 
section. The version "1.3.1dev" is the version the develop egg specifies.

I think that allowing to override parts of the versions section is a common 
use case when working with the KGS. Whether the overridden package version 
references a develop egg or not is a special case.

Regards,
Stephan
