Why does this need to be on the mirrors? Wouldn't it be better if you
could set urpmi to auto-repackage some packages (like rpm --repackage)?
Then, you would have the last package you had working (since youhave no
guarantees about yesterday's package anyway).

For cookers, this would be quite useful ...
