2 useful pointers about stacking picture together:

Yes, this is something I want...

A third pointer:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342482 and it could be great
to have a thing like this in f-spot. Or added in the metadata, or ...

But again, my main opinion is that there's no strong relation between
the roll and the content of the roll, although you're free to add that
relation by :
- never shoot anything that won't fit in a roll
- import whenever your event is done

Perhaps easiest to add  the import time permanently to the photo as in 342482
And the Last 20 Import Rolls could be configurable to show only the latest X rolls ...

But this means adding an new field to Photos, and one extra table.
