If the upgrade fails its dep check, is it going to be obvious what 
things the user needs to remove and how in order to proceed with the 
upgrade?

I think it's ideal for the old version to remain if the deps are met - I 
think it would be a very jarring (at best) user experience to boot up 
your freshly upgraded system and have random things that you 
intentionally installed missing for no apparent reason.

Is there a system currently in place to enable these click-thrus? How 
are they meant to display / what is the intention there? The first time 
you run Darktable, as some kind of splash? Or a clickthrough when you 
download the design suite from our website?
