On the robots from PAL Robotics (e.g., the Tiago), they do something similar to what you're trying to achieve. They use a stable version of e.g. ROS Indigo, which is just a snapshot of the official packages and which is installed to `/opt/ros/indigo`. In addition, they have their own "distro" which they call "PAL Dubnium" that contains their own addon packages and which is installed to `/opt/pal/dubnium`, and which overlays the Indigo workspace. I've found [this presentation](
