tbh, i had been thinking about this too, but it would kind of defeat the updates reasoning? otoh, perhaps a missing package is also a bugfix... maybe we could file bug reports for missing packages and go through the updates route... personally, i would like updates for it, but it might be against updates protocol and it will likely add extra strain on the QA team?
