There is a considerable difference, however, between automatically
installing the new version of a program (even if in a different package
for whatever reason) and automatically installing a completely different
program from the original, simply because both programs are intended for
the same role.
You could argue that it's appropriate to do anyway - e.g. that it would
be appropriate to automatically switch existing systems from gcc to
clang if the default compiler referenced by build-essential got changed.
It still shouldn't be treated as the same thing as a simple version
upgrade, however.
