If the packager has skimmed over source code diffs and has read the ChangeLog file, it is no longer a "blindly pushed update". The update may be a bug-fix release even if it is a new upstream release. Do you want to disallow such updates, if there is no open ticket in bugzilla for a problem that would be fixed by the update?
