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?
