The solution is easy: if you fork a project and it becomes incompatible with the upstream, rename it. How is anyone supposed to discriminate between the two versions if they have the same name?

Also, I'd say, if your software needs lots of modified dependencies, you're not communicating with those projects properly.

If every single project were to fork every one of their dependencies, the result would be maintenance nightmare.
