The problem continues to be, as I see it, that the package tools are
inadequate to the task. They just aren't as flexible as we need them
to be in terms of being able to do things like upgrades without
destroying dependency lists and such.

The idea is fine in principle, but until the package tools get further
improved I don't see it as practical.
