I don't know.  I haven't written it.  dpkg-multicd should be as good
wrt. upgrades as other methods from dpkg (source pkg).  apt probably
does a better job when it comes to proper access to the archive, but
that wasn't the question.  dpkg-multicd has gotton some updates to
work better (there was one particular bug that Anne found).  It's
probably not compatible with dpkg-multicd2 that may appear on one
or the other system.
