No problems with that.
Do you want to create a package "installable with setup.exe" (even of
not official) or not a package at all?
(let me specify again I'm not *asking* for you (nor anyone) to do it,
just inquiring if you knew the option existed ^_^)

Simply put, I don't think you can specify the version, just the
package name.
But it never happened to be needed to me, so I never asked about it,
if you want to "just be sure" I'd suggest asking in address@hidden,
someone will give you a "sure" answer in no time (usually).

"Requires" as in "it doesn't work with newer version"?

BTW: I know pretty much nothing about graphviz internals (I just used
it once, pre-compiled, and never had the need again...) but there is
someone who seem to have done most of the "packaging" work already,
but as far as I can tell from that thread, it never finished it
"properly enough" to be an official package.

You may want to contact him to ask for the status of his work
