There is a technology to do this but it's not GPL...

OpenSolaris and Nexetra use ZFS which supports snapshots. Before each
package installation transaction (i.e. one upgrade of N packages) they
take a snapshot of a system, do the upgrade. If the user doesn't like
it, they can rollback to any of the previous snapshots because they
are available.

Nexetra for that wrote apt-clone (I think) to actually do it.

Unfortunatly there isn't a GPL filesystem which supports continous
snapshots.....
