I'm not particularly knowledgable about this, so it's a bit of a shot in the dark but... Would it be possible to reference some kind of package manifest that defines the default package set of a release from preupgrade? It could then compare the currently installed packages to that list, upgrade/reinstall packages that are on both lists, and install packages that are only on the new package manifest? There's probably a million reasons why that's a bad idea, but I'd be interested to hear a couple of them at least...
