So there is some benefit, though I wonder about running every 24-hrs.
Certainly it only needs to be run when something changes? Which is
approx 1/month at most.

I understood that. The main difference is that it runs against installed
vs recently built.

Also, does it start from a scratch Natty or does it just overwrite the
previous install? I'm thinking we'll probably miss install dependency
issues if we just overwrite.
