Just asking before I go mucking about the package-vc source code. No, currently there is no such option. But before you try and hack on package-vc, you should know that I am currently working on resolving a bug where packages cannot be installed if a dependency is apparently missing. When that is done (I expect to be done within a day or two), then adding we can work on adding this feature. I expect we'll add that to the master branch, since this constitutes a new feature. That being said, I'd like to repeat that the main intention behind package-vc is to make contributing to packages easier. The fact that it can be used to pin releases, was not a primary intent, so there could be rough edges.
