Actually following chains of links from
http://www.cs.montana.edu/~andrew.hamilton/ is leading in potentially useful directions.

As to "[Update]", pondering this thread and my tread about "back up methods" has lead to a preliminary goal re-specification.

  /home
  /var/cache/apt/archives/
  a yet undefined subset of /usr
will actually be more useful.

Thanks all.
