It would be logical for a from-version property to be included in the
system. If there is a version from x to y and a version from y to z. and
is is installed, then install x>y and then y>z. Alternitivly, if there
is a package x to z. Just one update.

All these things are being talked about in the debian binary diff
packages discussions.
