I guess my follow-up is the result of being smoke deprived today:

concerning duplicate data if needs to be "applied" and purged (comment
from Simon):

for HUGE DBs with frequent updates -- may be we could come up with data
package chains -- i.e. with some base package version + sequence of
dependent packages with binary deltas which get applied upon
installation? e.g.

data-blob-1.0.0
data-blob-1.0.0+1
data-blob-1.0.0+2
...
?
