I personally think that this package should provide libSystem, 
Carbon, Cocoa and so on, each with the installed version. 
Packages should then depend on the OS features that they need, 
rather than the operating system version.

Fink builds a package for itself using the injext.pl script. A 
dpkg package for whatever is on the users system could be built 
by fink when it is updated/installed. A systemupdate script 
could be supplied to rebuild this package when the user updates 
her OS.

There is another problem:
Some packages must change stuff outside of /sw, postfix being 
one example. These packages could have a systemupdate script 
that gets called whenever the user uses the systemupdate 
command...??

Kinda thinking out loud here, sorry.
