Nice stuff. Wanted to write something in this direction as well. Anyway, 
what I would need is a tool which tells me what changed after the upgrade.
I do not care what is done before, I can fix it anyway. But I would like 
to say "ah, foo does not work since the last upgrade, what has changed"?

Question is: How can you do it. One would need to record the package versions
before upgrading and generated the complete changes list afterwards.

Maybe I will take a look at your tool and twist it to do what I need. 

Thanks
