I'm not worried about the case of going from 20.7 to 21.1, I'm worried
about the case of going from 20.5 to 20.6, for example, where the
flavor (i.e. package name) doesn't change.
This has lead to cruft b/c add-on packages didn't clean up entirely.
I.e, on my system (with 20.7 as the currently installed version), I've
got the listing below.
