The issue is I see there (as here) one version for each rpm+variant+arch per
repo.

One repo (my archive) has, say, 3 versions of kernel-devel x86_64 (for fc8;
the fc7 x86_64 repo has many many more); I want to get a list of containing
all N versions, not just the most recent in the given repo for the given
rpm+arch+variant.

I am getting a list which looks like the one you're getting.
