my proposal:

- get rid of everything we have now.
- don't allow automatic (only user transacted) inter-vendor upgrades (solves 
usecase 2)

For the future:
- implement a simple text list with package patterns that gets read from /etc. 
The challenge here is that it breaks the current UI lock concept (one package 
can be locked by more than one pattern).
