I think one way to look at this is to examine similar ideas for other systems that work well.
As a suggestion, I just got done updating cygwin, and I must admit I admire the setup there. You can indicate what packages you are downloading, which you want to keep, which you want to skip on a menu like structure. Once they are downloaded, automatic scripts take care of any building that is necessary. It does just what I think is necessary in updating programs. For those on your system which are already present, it updates automatically, only if necessary (if there has been a version change). Can we just grab this code and update it for our purposes?
