Of course, that's what i meant. I also meant, that if you submit
manually, you can expect that package be overwritten by hudson any time
soon.

Yes, but that does not solve my case and it sounds to me as the same
effort as having separate zypp:Factory project and doing:

$ osc copypac zypp:Head foo zypp:Factory

in case zypp:Head has the desired version, and create your own source
package and 'osc ci' it to zypp:Factory in case there are problems with
Hudson. And always submit to factory from zypp:Factory, leaving
zypp:Head to live it's own life undisturbed.
