But there is no check involved whether the new branch is *pre-packaged*
or not.  You would have to verify the distribution a user is currently
running, have to check the according package pool and if you want to
do the job completely in some cases you might even have to check other
package pools (for instance if a user is running gnumed-client verison
x_outdated on Ubuntu, but version y_uptodate is available for Debian
which should work in principle).  So I doubt that you really want to do
this ...

I'd rather seek for a better wording than *pre-packaged* to express
what you *really* mean.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
