Nice to have, thanks.

Nevertheless, is it able to limit the set of packages going to be
updated somehow? As we've been talking about it on this mailing-list
recently, users often want to:

  * update only $add_your_favorite_repository_here packages
  * update only the listed packages (and their dependencies)
  * update all packages (maximum we can do)

Is that doUpdate function able to handle such requirements?

Thx && Bye
