This is vaguely starting to smack of over-engineering...  I really like
the simplicity of a file containing just version names.

OTOH, it might be very simple to support something like:

  -g, --group=GROUP       Use partner-group GROUP

And just append .GROUP to the name of the partner file, e.g., if I
specified:

   tla-partner --group=freaks missing -s

it would get the partners from a file called {arch}/+partner-versions.freaks
