Hmmm, I think I would rather go in the direction of Debian in this
respect.
By this I mean that SqueakMap should hold package releases and not
really "deltas".

But when we have package releases (versions of packages) we can add
dependency management (and as I have written I have a simple but
flexible scheme I want to try) and then we get the same end user effect.

Debian has this today and you can selectively update parts of the system
and apt-get (think SM) makes sure you stay within working
configurations.

Well, I need more time to write more on this. Tomorrow. :-) Gotta jump
to bed.
