I mean that anytime you say add a new version to it, or fix some minor
packaging issue in just one, _EVERYONE_ with _ANY_ version will then
get the update (even though it actually changes nothing on their
system). 

ie, you have: 

unison package that ships all of Unison 2.13.16, 2.27.57, 2.40.128

Users install the one they need/want to use. 

you add 2.48.3 and all those users of the other 3 will get an update
with 0 changes. 

I don't think just adding new packages is that big a deal to save
everyone from this.
