I think what you are really asking for are incremental packages.  
Additional to full packages, each server would supply a package-diff  
which would allow to upgrade a given package to the next version.

This isn't exactly trivial (you'd have to un-archive and re-archive  
packages to get meaningful diffs, it has to be binary safe and allow  
to remove files), but I've read about this idea on this list before.  
Perhaps you can find this spot and start working out something like a  
concept or even mockup code.
