up2date can keep the packages it replaces when updating, see the options
in up2date-config.  The packages should be in /var/spool/repackage.  In
general this is alot of extra disk space usage for testing since you
will be replacing a 'significant' number of packages during each week.
(except when in freeze not as much happens)
