Generally one hopes that later versions of a changeSet will successfully overwrite earlier versions.

It's true of the crispScrollbars.

If it's not true, then often people will document in the preamble what care should be taken for proper installation (... and usually it turns out to be easier to slip a few doits in the preamble or postscript than to explain it anyway ;-).
