AFAIK the rsync stuff explained by Ron Stodden should allow painless
"stay-in-sync" with packages..
It's the most we can do for you, we *need* to constantly correct our bugs,
for example to allow beta-testers [e.g. you on Cooker + the others, in
Mandrake for example] to verify if our fixes, really fix the bugs they
find.
