yes, i know this is normal procedure. what i wanted to do: test it locally.
i "simulated" the above behaviour already:

- unmerge entire package (in all versions)
- set PORTAGE_OVERLAY (all my new ebuilds are there)
- deleted the "normal" ebuilds in /usr/portage (i know this is usually not
necessary)
- regenworld
- emerge the one with slot 1.0
- emerge the one with slot 1.1

is there a "global" switch which packages are slotted?

thanks
