Maybe we could change the definition of updates repository. Rather than
a strict rule &quot;no new version and no new software in updates&quot;, we could
have something like this :

 - updates : no regression, and no changes in interfaces / protocols /
   config files since last package. You could have a cron script updating
   from this repository and nothing should stop working.

 - backports : possible regressions and/or changes in interfaces /
   protocols / config files. Updates from this repository should not be
   installed automatically but checked by user.
