Maybe we could introduce time-based criteria for dprms and

1) remove drpms only when they are 10 days old (or use a better
  threshold) and support using multiple drpms to generate the final RPM:
  e.g. use foo-1_2.drpm and foo-2_3.drpm to generate foo-3.rpm from
  foo-1.rpm
2) generate drpms for all recent (up to 10 days old) update paths if the
   drpm chain from 1) is bigger/close to the size of the final RPM

Both probably also need some tooling updates.

Kind regards
