Yes, Debians way of doing it is brilliant. I second taking a look at it..

And for all of you that haven't used it, well, read up on it first - there are a lot of good
thoughts and functionality in Debian's system that we could learn a great deal from - I mean, hey,
they are handling over 4000 packages with all their interdependencies in three different fronts
(described above) and with a lot of different ways of upgrading. So... just *perhaps* they have
learned a few things along the way... ;-)
